My Poetry Sucks

Well it does...

 

 

My poetry sucks

 

I’m so tired of writing

My fingers are sore

My poetry sucks

I’m becoming a bore

 

Sticking a verse

In front of your face

Oozing with love

All over the place

 

Creamsicle colors

Metaphors thick

Wasting your time

Making you sick

 

Finding a title

Spending the time

Just like this poem

Something to rhyme

 

Or it could be free-verse…

Drifting on metallic clouds in copper spoons

dreaming in patterns of silhouette subways

and my foot falls asleep

 

Maybe a Senryu

 

Read at your own risk

Dumb crap being written here

Vomit bags needed

 

Perhaps a Haiku

 

Softly floats the bird

Atop morning glory skies

Damn thing s**t on me

 

Or a Tanka, a Sonnet

A Villanelle or an Assterring

The last one is nothing

I made up the damn thing

 

So you see I’m no poet

Least not anymore

For what you are seeing

Is what you abhor

 

And I’m not complaining

Not here on this screen

My pen is on empty

I’m ready to leave

 

I’m so tired of writing

My fingers are sore

My poetry sucks

I’m becoming a bore

I didn't read it' I swear I didn't...

[Jack...]

Oh come on Marie, I know you did. Thanks

[Pryde Foltz]

I do hope that was all tongue and cheek. Don't go!!! Very funny and witty, Jack. After an angst-ridden August, here's hoping for a silly September.

[Jack...]

Thank so much my friend. Yep, tongue and cheek and a few other things.

[Angi]

Ha! I was on the verge of smacking you on the head when the joke creeped in. Funny stuff, Jack. I have felt these things, too. That is the funny part! Ha! Angi~

[Jack...]

Thanks Angi, happy you found the humor in this.

[Pax]

oh, a humorous piece... but in truth i feel the emotions behind this, maybe because I felt often times my poetry sucks, but then it doesn't stop me from creating it or expressing myself.. keep penning my friend.. your piece doesn't sucks its really good... keep penning! coz people are enjoying your works of art :)

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Pax for visiting my little slice of off color humor.

[Baby Ricochet]

LMAO! Now that's some funny s**t

[Jack...]

Thanks BR, glad you liked it.

[Rita L. Sev]

Oh, Jack - you have covered it all, haven't you? "How do I suck - let me count the ways"! Though of course this poem proves the opposite, it is great fun! Now, you will have to tell us how to write an "Assterring" - LOL!

[Jack...]

It's really not that hard Rita, you just close your eyes and hit the keyboard with a sledge hammer. Thanks so very much.

[redflutterby]

Bite your damn tongue mister....don't make Red open a can of whoop a*s on you!! You know I will do it!! ;-P

Now for your poem.... Amazingly funny and unique...just like you. But if you're bored with romance try something dark and deep....or naughty!! ;-)

[Jack...]

Oh, so you mean I should write a poem about you? :)> Thanks so much Red.

[Eddie Phillips]

Man you made me fall out of my chair with this one! There are so many great parts that I cannot even tell you what was the best. All I know is I laughed because I have felt this way. Thank you for this touch of fun today!

[Jack...]

Ok Eddie, you can get back in your chair again...Thanks so much.
