Antacid Poem by Doris Cornago

Antacid

Rating: 5.0


Life's fun when young
At forked road, find
Two hands are empty
Grasping at straws
Lost all in gamble
Pride in trample
Gullible fool
Pitiful tool
Paid torpor
Palindrome
Monstrous
Mimicry
Wasted
Time
Dip
In
Lime
Drink
Antacid
Drawn out
Dereliction
Grave matters
Source of fears
Arrears in litter
Your life's clutter
Passion poisons air
Rolling in the gutter
Recriminations rankle
Sad affairs in fetid water

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Stressed out, you take antacid, but your life's affairs need straightening out. Don't wait for the forked road to find out that you've already wasted too much of your youth on useless buffoonery, silliness, foolishness, stupidity, idiocy. Take responsibility for your life and don't act as if the world owes you a living. Please stop bellyaching and be a responsible human being.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM

This poem is dedicated to the King of Alley cats still on that forked road to Never-Never Land, where I hope to find him when I go on a long road trip sometime soon. Hoping to do that E A Poe-ish epic poem soon. Remember this, my friends, whenever you are heavy with poems, give birth, don't abort. Fetch me and I'll ride along.
