Last Two Words

for some reason i was compelled to do this thing...

By BrenPublished 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

this first line is to tell you i’m taking the last two words,

just those last two from out of the entire fourth line

i'm not even going to touch the third

because in the second i have set up the rhyme

the rhyme is neither a given or a constant

can you not see if it is or is not there

this is getting to be harder than i thought

i need to worry about the here and where

and where the hell did i go with that fourth verse

and how the hell am I going to tie all this together

this will require a very special type of bonding agent

it's not to clever ay to say never say sever yay forever

yay forever and the eternity i want but do not need

amid this constant construction interruption

it’s got that not quite right not quite real feel (about it)

just more resilient seminal disruption and corruption

how tosurreal poetry

    This was my favourite bit: "this will require a very special type of bonding agent" - I have a couple of stories that need this at the moment 😁
