not
even a slightly inspirational one
a poem
that will not go deep
it will
just hover over the surface
a poem
that will not tug at your heartstrings
it will be cutting in its blandness
simply one great disappointment
a verse
that will not pretend to be something that it isn’t
simply
a poem that refuses to charm with metaphoric spells
lines
as straightforward as lines should be
no
seducing with sultry syllables
or
enchanting with fanciful metrics
a poem that
simply sits flat on the page
that does
not excite the tongue
and
definitely does not make you think twice
i know you are still reading to be sure
that no arousal is happening and that i am not pulling your leg
- or any other body part -
- or any other body part -
i was serious when i said that
this is not going to be a rousing poem
no need to look further for
rhyme or reason
climax or crux
witticism or twist in the tail
rhyme or reason
climax or crux
witticism or twist in the tail
nothing of the sort to be found here
just a dead-end of a poem
