Poem #229 Brain fart


My poetry is an organized brain fart.

A methodical mental puke that

spans across my interests and likes

in the hope that others would find

a similar joy as I in them.

My soul is barred to the masses daily

and in my limited experience,

there is no such thing as an elegant poem,

for poetry is a part of your very being

and share it is akin to rending your soul apart

for the world to pick at.

Yet poets still write

for we see the world for what it is.

In all its beauty and lack thereof

and refuse to flinch

for we must share it the world.
