A poem a day keeps the cobwebs off my keyboard.

A place for the poetry that I will need to write now that I made a special book for it.

Your love is like sangaree
too sweet to be quaff-able.
Your declarations? hyperbole
utterly laughable.

You say I’m cold,
that’s so unfair.
You’re too bold,
for my icy stare.

You’re full of guile
and unwelcome flattery.
You should stand trial
for romance and battery.

The tone of your wooing
is almost too much,
The things that you’re doing
lack a subtle touch.

Sweet nothings are just that,
they drift into the air.
But a diamond ring,
well, that’s a different affair!

I cannot tell you that my heart is bro-ken
You must seek the pain
_____________
betweenthelines

hidden in bursts of metaphor
camouflaged in cadence
(many times misspelled)

have you the depth?
must I spell it out?
fsgrdynstintiwilder?

Peasant!
Insisting on a rhyme
measuring meter
tapping in time

The cHaOs is the meaning!

Poetry must be X-perienced
not understood
emotions underlined
Pain in red
and soothing sounds
painted blue

Read it and weep
or don’t

Who cares?

I sm not getting mu keyBored fixed
