Lame Poetry
Lord deliver me
from lame poetry
from cloying phrases
that are sickly sweet
don’t quite rhyme
miss the beat
Lord spare me from mediocrity
especially the over-wrought
terse trite holier than thou verse
what could be worse?
Lord deliver me
from lame poetry
from admonishing verses
that look down from on high
to us heathen souls
who live and die
Lord deliver me
from lame poetry
instead, give me poems
that move my soul
that shake my bones
that rock and roll
that ask the questions
i never frame
Lord delivery me
from poems
(including my own)
if they be lame
