'Poetry' By Alex Klein And Other Demons... Poem by Alex Ranedo klein

Poetry




It took me too long

So long

and is it too late?

It took me so long to treat poetry as honesty

I was brought up that way

Badly.

But, I'm not sticking up fingers here...

It was'nt her fault

Or his


combination probably.


I'm disgusted at me
I'm lost at my chances

I have so little time for rhyme


I have a twisted view of poetry

I have my view about life

apparently it's twisted

If I was honest,



and I'll try:



It's twisted

And personal

And lost

And the word troubles me

So much lies

Or possible lies
.
Poetry worries me in that way

That temptation




To lie

Or to make it sound better.



And eventually,



Lie
