Nonsense

35 7 16
                                    

Every word is intriguing,
Every sentence is confusing,
Every paragraph is interesting,
And every story is a mystery.

Ranting, you call it.

I call it necessarily blowing off steam,
So that you don't have to scream.

It's a way
Of getting the very thing
That currently bothers you most
Off your chest.

Explaining it all to a pal
In order to improve your morale.

Going into detail,
Yet not being overly specific,
And hinting at things
That might not even exist.

Although it may seem nonsensical,
It makes perfect sense to me.

Know what's really a bunch of nonsense?

This poem.
