Fed up with poetryA Poem by Symplydymple
Frantic nonsense is how my poetry rises
Falling inch by inch into expected surprises Filled with inane rhymes which suffices Enough to turn speech into an ominous crisis Every metre my poem stretches More vanity sweeps into its sketches The little sweetness my rhyme fetches Many an error on its lines perches Counter to what poetry teaches I jam up my rhyme till it reaches A height where it breaches The very rules grammar preaches Vanity is what my writ endorses Hailing futility's forces Speaking much yet nothing deserving applauses Rolling stones of course do not gather mosses I even venture to describe kisses When my own love life is no hit and all misses Girls continue to shower me with hisses Yet I venture to describe kisses I even venture to write about flowers Which have the endowment of dewy showers When so lost is my descriptive powers That my poetry bitters and cowers I even venture when in one of my poetic trances To try to describe one beaut as she dances And throws herself into sprightly prances Just as any boy would when upon such a feat he chances Yet when I begin writing my poetic verses The yearn to rhyme makes room for guesses What should be lilies then is made to look like cresses Then mere senselessness is what the poem now stresses Slowly disappointment like the death of daisies Which onced filled with cheers the eyes that gazes Sets in and the eager pen slowly lazes Till no more can I tell my poem with praises I shall quit and endeavor other places Be it biology, psychology or the study of races There maybe life will afford me enough graces To enjoy the bliss of its other phases © 2010 Symplydymple |
