BOREDOM

My first complete Poem. I wrote it in a few minutes when I was bored. It's really bogus but since you can share anything you want here. I will condemn you guys to a few minutes of Boredom.

I want to write a poem.

Why? I don't know.

No! Lets change that.

I do know.

But can't say.

Well, we all know I can't write a poem.

Cause well, it's a little boring and hectic.

And most of all; very unrewarding.

But I will still write one.

And see how many people shall read it.

Not more than 10. I would think.

No! 10 is an overstatement; I would say 5.

That is; Me, myself, my next life and I.

Wait! Those are four.

Then I think I shall read it to my 24 month old cousin,

Whether he likes it or not.

Cause well. Lets face it, their is nothing more he can do apart from listen and cry.

Then what shall I do next?

Maybe write a short story.

About the guy who couldn't write a poem,

So he wrote one boring one and read it to his 24 month old cousin.

Well, that would be nice I think.

People shall read my short story.

Why? Well cause it's a story and people read stories.

I don't like stories though.

They are ridiculously long and wordy and most all:

They are stories.

I prefer poems because;

Because I don't know.

Maybe because only 5 people shall read it.

And understand it.

So yeah. I shall write a poem.

About what?

I don't know.

No! Lets change that.

I do know.

But can't say

Author's Note

Please correct me wherever you see grammar issues. Of course you tell me what you think. Hate reply is welcome. You probably won't feel any purge of emotion but don't worry. You do have feelings, the poem just doesn't have.

one spelling problem... in the last line of the 3rd paragraph/verse. 'their' should be 'there'.
i enjoyed the poem. it shows a lot of skill and potential for you as a writer. you have a natural ear/eye for some things that a lot of writers never catch on to. like how to use repetition effectively. i also enjoy your sense of humor. it's a nice change from the typical abysmal lost love poems that are so prevalent here.

I`ve read a couple of poems from Africa today ..there is a lot of talent there, this is a good piece of writing, I really like the uncertain, shifting motives of the main theme, good work.
