The Poet
I answer back ambiguously
whenever possible,
it matters not, the topic
if the imagery is full;
I am the poet.
Adjectives and adverbs
are staples to the art,
the ending and the middle
merely amplify the start;
I am the poet.
Lengthy exaggerations
lend creedence to a style,
that obliterate a subject
which sometimes brings a smile;
I am the poet.
Quirkiness enhances
what's seemingly miopic,
as I scramble through the verbage
to pick apart each topic;
I am the poet.
I'll argue to the death, a point
sarcastically, with "sass"...
..and if you disagree with me
I'll prove that you're an ass;
I am the poet.
