Poetry

A wall plastered with poetry
some tolerable
some paltry
some downright unsightly ...

An unfinished piece of tapestry
forever hanging off kilter
like a festering wound
keep scratching at the scab
for it will never heal.

      Angel, I am wondering sometimes what the hell I am doing even writing a single verse.

    Perfect poetry is not poetry at all.WE are all human..We don't have flaws, we have our own styles..good or bad,,In your case..all good..Thank you for entertaining me, as usual

    *hands you a tube of neosporin* Or I hear you can spit on some mud, and that honey has antibacterial properties. Then again, there's always whiskey, too!

    The metaphor about unfinished poetry being a scab that will never heal.....Perhaps that is a good one....no solution or cure to an unfinished work...hmmm....Your writes always stimulate thought...Keep penning!

      Hi Rose,

      Thank you so much for reading this poem, it is not much but still it is how I feel about the whole poetry thing.

    I love the way that you expressed yourself in this peice! It's so true and I don't think that I would like poetry if it was perfect.

      I get in one of those funks sometimes and these things come rushing out. I suppose poetry is one of them.
