THE ULTIMATE deprivation

  

 

THE ULTIMATE 

 

WRITE ANY MORE POETRY ,

 

CONVERSE WITH EITHER 

 

A HE OR SHE 

 

THEN YOU SHALL HAVE 

 

TO DIVORCE ME …

 

 

 

I HATE YOUR TALKING 

 

ACROSS MY BACK 

 

AND 

 

IF YOU CONTINUE  

 

YOU I SHALL HAVE TO SACK  

 

AND 

 

SO I MUST SURRENDER ,

 

MY DESIRE

 

 TO COMPOSE POETRY ENTIRE 

 

FOR MY SPOUSE ALONE 

 

IS MY LIFE ENTIRE

 

ALBEIT  THERE’S NOTHING ELSE 

 

I AM ABLE TO DO 

 

BUT FOR MY SPOUSE 

 

THIS MUCH I AM OBLIGED TO DO . 

 

 

 

SO WAIT 

 

YOU MAY NOT 

 

HEAR FROM ME 

 

TILL I’M BURIED 

 

UNDER THE PALM TREE.

Dear Loved

Great sincere poem. I'm sure it'll be some time before you're buried under that palm tree. Xena Quote: Science is what you know; philosophy is what you don't know. - Bertrand Russell

I smiled when I read this as it so clearly depicts the dilema we poets have - trying to juggle our personal and creative lives. There's always someone who demands our attention away from the passion that is writing poetry! Clever thought indeed! Bonita j
