So... I think the topic title pretty much explains itself. I sometimes write some amateur (the polite word for bad ) poetry and wondered if anyone else here also partakes? I would love to see what our community has got to offer! Don't be embarrassed to share your efforts as this topic welcomes all poems of any quality, as long as they are your own creation.
To start us off, here is one I wrote quite recently:
Bear Traps
The bullet proof glass hangs delicately by night,
Where I can indulge in the romance of weeping.
Sits in the pits of every daylight conversation,
That’ll keep it in medical isolation.
The rope snaps in the sting of post-modern self review.
Artefacts remain, always tomorrow’s foundation.
Misappropriated information spelt out by the self-help shaman.
“Just lighten up bud. Be more positive. Go get ‘em, go get ‘em.”
A smile that shatters every bone.
Time to begrudge the lobotomised masses.
I’ll wander between bear traps.
