I wish I could
Just once
Create something that will blow me off my feet
Sending me over the horizon
Far enough to help me forget my failures.
Maybe I could use repetition,
Repetition,
Repetition,
To get my point across.
I’ll speak volumes,
Upon volumes,
Lengths to which leave me stupefied.
Incorporate extensive vocabulary,
Or possibly immensely impressive alliteration,
While simultaneously rhyming rapidly.
Create similes as free as a summer breeze,
Or metaphors rumbling on freight trains.
My luck shows it will never happen,
But I’ll just keep
Spelling things out.
P-O-E-T-R-Y
