Bigger than before.
On my arm like a sore.
You I want to attack.
I've tried lots of kinds of oil,
Salt water, even butter;
All the irons plus the putter.
Still you're there like a boil.
You make be kind of crazy like a rhyme-scheme reversal.
You make me look bruised,
Like as if I've been abused,
But you insist it isn't personal.
I guess it's time to accept you
Just as part of my body.
Since you came to the party,
I suppose I'll have to admit you
Exist.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteThis is slight misdirection as I'm actually commenting on one of your other poems. (I couldn't comment on the page for some reason.)
I'm working on a collection of bad love poetry, hopefully set to be published around the beginning of June. The project partially sparked by your incredible piece 'YOU'. I was wondering if you would consider submitting the poem for the collection.
If you're interested, please do email me at annexemagazine@live.co.uk
best regards,
Nick Murray
