A simple rhyming poem for today.
Underwhelmed
I read the acclaimed poet’s verse.
To be fair, I’ve read much worse.
I stepped from rhyme to rhyme
Down the path of a bygone time.
But I left the road disappointed
By his greatness so anointed.
For while I walked from line to line
I did not wish the lines were mine.
Interesting point of view. Are you speaking of a real situation or merely hypothetical? Just curious. There are several things mentioned that remind me of a poem i had to recite in freshman english.
ReplyDeleteReal, but not specific.
DeleteI liked this one. So much out there is supposed to be great but it really isn't all that great.
ReplyDeleteYeah. I read it a lot, but even my favorite poets are inconsistent.
DeleteThis is great! I love the humour and you are right about certain poems especially some famous ones.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
