Square Poems 49

Rating: 5.0

If you take away my legs
you can put me in the ground.
A wheelchair? No, not for me.
That's not how I'll be found.
On the day I cannot walk
there's no more reason to talk.
Farewell; I'll see you around.

Thank you for the introduction to square poems! Is it your invention or is it a form used by others before you?

Rob, thank you very much for commenting. Square poems are my own invention. As far as I know, nobody before me used them, or called them by that name.
