YET ANOTHER ANTI-POETRY POEM ( re-edited 11/2/2022)


hiding

a sparrow behind a  dark cloud

an agate sinking in the sand

a blue sky lost behind a storm

my cave

is my broken heart

and its slowly

over-taking  my body.


twisted

a broken hanging branch

my crooked leg dragging behind a cane

my courage under restraint

too worried about my impressions

when no tracings of me can be found
on the pavement



the king got caught out in the cold

and everyone stared when he wore nothing

but himself

is it  like that--

no matter how much I shy away

from the tide

humanity barges in


too too many of you interogate as to
whoeever/wherever have I been


then just as suddenly

they leave

when my poetry and poems

are transformed into

anti-matters, tattered bits

of poetry of paucity



they're fickle and

I'm the  pickle

I'm the enigma

I'm inertia personified

so

I bought my ticket

to another side

and I'm patiently waiting to leave

will I be granted some reprieve


(the smallest truth be told
the ticket actually was free....)

la-la-la life is a merry-go-around-what-comes-around

a tilt-a-world

a dizzy town

the nausea of misery

sometimes rains down

to the nth degree

and its yet another anti-poem

describing the mockery of life

the occasional misery is yours

and all for free.................






Anti-poetry...try it you might like it...it might be just what you need
