speak plain

if the shoe fits ...

 

dear poet:

i don’t like your swag

how your words do drag

i find your

wordsmith’s flair

like a streaking flare

fiery words ablaze

used up burnt out just blasé

pedestrian struggling

on an uphill plane

too much stress on the brain

give up this pretentious strain

why not just speak plain?

Too much struggling....a lesson for us all. It should come from somewhere. Gotta learn to be patient.

LOL I love this and sooo true.

"an ice cream sundae with all topping and no ice cream"

Kid, I hear you. This is just what I mean.

I dig the "flair/flare." An esoteric line or feel here and there never hurt, but there are many that I liken to an ice cream sundae with all topping and no ice cream beneath. Very cool write.

good use of rhyme and half-rhyme here. i realize that's a pretentious review, but it's true.

and: i hear you.
