I Poem by John Sensele

Irritation swept over me
Inconvenience stretched my patience
Immortality dared my pilgrimage on earth in wee
Hours and minutes as my life interrogated fate and its conscience.

Intelligence saved my day
Influence did my cause no good
Impatience deserted my side today
When temperament granted me a foul mood.

Imperialism reared its ugly head
Incompetence nagged my vicinity
Insolvency hunted down profligates who said
Advice deserved no iota of dignity.

Immaturity featured in small talk
Illegality cruised in minds driven blank
Ill-will harassed an innocent clock
Whose hands told time in a Utopian bank.
