Blank verse in iambic pentameter
Laziness; can't blame it on craziness -
that's much too sexy, and I've yet to cut
even one ear off. This constant stare-off
with my own reflection on poetry
websites; impressions in fast succession,
forming ideas, framing works, foraging for
scraps of ambrosia and digging down for
diggities. Oh ~ hot damn! Almost slipped on
this wet versatile - who left the words on?
Let’s write poetry together!
When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
–Ben Harper (b. 1969)

Yes, they can cause slipperiness or even a flood. ๐
๐ Terveen ๐ – sometimes they even make the pipes burst!

Enjoyed it!! Love the humor. Please wax on…
๐ Cindy ๐ – the problem is… sometimes I wax on too thickly!

David
Ah, yes. Losing the shine to build-up is a risk.
Definitely not a problem here! ๐
Reads like slam poetry!
๐ค Muri ๐ค – I’m not very good at that.
Most near missed this gem. How’d that happen?
๐ค Espie ๐ค – you didn’t… it was the last post I wrote!
-David
This is very clever and groovy. Love it.
๐ Worms๐ – thanks!
Looks like you had as much fun writing this as I had reading it! ๐

Ha Ha watch your step before clumbsy becomes a permanent state.
