In a Nut Shell
When I'm in this kind of a mood
I try to write poetic free verse,
but I often feel like
I'm raping a piece of paper
with my pen, instead of creating
anything worthwhile.
Constantly, I fight,
just to maintain control,
and abstain from rhyming
Meter can become addictive
The rhapsody of thoughts confusions,
associated with delusions
Rotating optical illusions.
Never ending in conclusions,
and that's kind of how I feel
about free verse
in a nutshell...

I can't believe you watched Dragnet! You're too young to remember that show. Oh yeah,.... forgot for a moment. You're in Arkansas right?

Bags, I've had a read through your latest posts in the humour section. Your humour always makes me laugh, but this is my favourite of your recent poems.
Not outright hilarious but it gave me a wry smile.
The bit about feeling as if you are raping a piece of paper with your pen was inspired. Not in a humorous way - just inspired.
Good write
Rob
