Art....

/enter it into a contest?/

why on Earth would I expose my feelings to those who will

applaud them?

why consider such toxic words to be

works of art?

with which I can display for all to see

/For all to criticize/

I’m not writing them for the

oo’s and ah’s.

I write them simply because

they can either be on paper,

or be forever locked in my mind.
