I Correct That

I Correct That

A Poem by Ivy

I correct that which has strayed from the path
I boast perfection and false quality
Childrens’ toys-
I must have fixed them, too.

I color to your needs,
though I color myself
figures line down streets to see
as others already do.

Each outcome is the same;
stable perfection dotes upon wanting

Hailed doves reflect
only beauty inbred
costing food, costing shelter

Living marked off
my work reaches the grave
I am solidarity where only rot lies.

About
Here's my poetry. The good, the bad, the downright horrendous. Take it for what it's worth. If you choose to critique it, be brutal. Poets of interest: William Shakespeare, E.E. Cummings, Sylvia Pla.. more..
