One More Poem To Increase The Numbers Poem by Raj Arumugam

One More Poem To Increase The Numbers



one more poem, baby,
one more poem;
one more just to
increase my numbers


just another idea,
any cliché, any tired conceit
any damned thing that gets my fancy;
just a few words
just a few lines
or maybe I’ll increase it to more
and more
and dead words and a few odd ones too
and arrange those into something
shapes and sizes
like what lines
look like in the old poetry books


one more poem, baby,
one more poem;
one more just to
increase my numbers


and so I’ve got what I call a poem
that I can post on a poetry site
that will make it one more
and help increase my numbers
the number of poems I’ve got posted
and that appears against my name:
the more the better; the more the mightier…
it’s like the stock exchange of poetry,
sweetie -
good times measured by the number of clicks;
one more word,
one more line, one more poem –
who cares a damn what the poem is about?
so what if I don’t have really something worth to say?
all I want, I’m content
if I’ve got one more
that increases my numbers;
let it multiply
like rabbits,
O my bunny baby;
it’s a sort of entering
the Guinness Book of World Records,
darling meat pie:
oh, for another one
just to increase my numbers


one more poem, baby,
one more poem;
one more just to
increase my numbers
