I was told that I mix metaphors and that rhyming poems are so yesterday so I decided to title a collection of poems that I wrote this! I am going to attempt to post them all in the next few days if i can’t get them all today.
Danny’s Mid-Life Crisis
Pervasive perverse prolonged pitiful Poe prose
Nevermore nerve negating nothingness
Enormously embellished emptiness
Lost love latitudes languish
Morose mastication
Ambition
Gone
Second verse worse than the first
Whirring, buzzing, productive factory
Owner surveys the realm, swells with pride
Powerful, vibrant, working, alive!
Product not needed, it was all a mistake!
Just a large empty building
Worker starting to quake!
Footsteps echo in emptiness
Thirty two years he toiled
Now his soul is soiled
What can he do?
Can he start anew?
