Hunch Poem by Rj Williams

Hunch

I have a hunch
that the majority of you readers
in this poetry group,
and I mean a bunch,
will forego this----my poem.
It is a rather strong hunch,
based on past experience here.
It's true. Very few
will give it a chance
to enter their personal space.
Hardly any of you
readers
will give it the opportunity
to 'tickle your fancy.'

Just a small chance give it,
even just a quick scan read,
please?
It's all I can hope for.
Allow it to drizzle
some newborn poetry fizzle
onto the tightly-wound ball of yarn
electro-noodle
within your skull.
Give it a go... would ya?
Give it that 'snowball's chance
in hell.'
It may not be the best poem
you have read, but surely...
it isn't the worst.
It is what it is, as they say.
It is just words---only words.

I must leave now----go to the store.
But as I said before,
it's just a hunch...
nothing less
nothing more.
