You Creative Types Are So Tempermental Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You Creative Types Are So Tempermental



You want me to apologize?
OKAY...
I apologize.

'What level of sincerity,
Was that apology? '

I would say...
Right between where I would put my foot.
And the words your ears would hear,
As they rolled off my tongue.

'I accept your apology.'

I am glad of that!
Because you would find my foot painful.
And those words rolling off my tongue...
Would be created just for you.

'But then again...
That doesn't sound too bad of an offer.
Do you mind if I returned your apology?

What did I say now?
Who cares!
Walk away.
You creative types are so tempermental.'

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

I sense anger in the tone of this poem. But I will agree that creative types are very tempermental. We are also very emotional about what we do, too. They say movie directors are crazy, but they have nothing over those of us who write. We will write a story about coming of age, and actually live in our characters to get the story right. Or we will write a dark poem so surreal the reader would think we lost our minds. My poem In The Night is just such a poem. This was written well, but was full of anger. A 10+++++ and thank you for sharing. Love & hugs, Barbara
