@PoetrySociety Archie, you're the sperm
that won the race
to carry the millstone
of nasty comments
and forced civility
while made to defend
your very significance
in a world
that simultaneously
adorates you
while vilifying
every breath you draw
at taxpayers expense.
Congrats.
@MaureenLangloss I would add to that, and this is just because of my style, even being married has done the same thing. I need to be alone and unfettered when I write. My writing has dropped off precipitously the longer I have been engaged in the responsible world of husband and father. Can't lie
My first twitter poem?
No.
That's not right.
I cannot provide
your words
at all.
You are looking
for meter
in the soft
evenings light,
i'll offer no comfort
despite.
Such cadence
seems foreign,
So, i admit,
Anyway...
What's for dinner?
