So, So Meta

I spent all evening in a hot tub

Until 11:15 tonight.

I’m writing this poem while wrinkly

Which, in my book, makes it alright.

Get Lost

Verdant green forest around me.

Mountains and rivers as well.

I am in nature to find myself,

So at least step one went well.

Go There And Do Nothing

Don’t send her a breakup text

Next time your love’s in doubt.

Instead you take her to the gym

To show her how you’re not working out.

That Second Line’s Syllable Dilemna Though…

It’s 8:53.

I’m too tired to write good poems.

Damn, I’m getting old.

Horse Shoes

Clip-clop, clip-clop.

The horse passes by.

Clip-clop, clip-clop.

It has no shoes, but why?

Flip-flop, flip-flop.

Problem solved.

Younger English

I recalleth days of yore…

Glad we don’t talk that way no more.

My Protest Poem

I was going to write a poem today

That would blow your socks away,

But it might please lawmakers in North Carolina

And so I didn’t.

One’s a Crowd

I’m a lonely little elf

In the presence of myself.

The solitude, it hurts my head.

I just wish I’d stop talking and go to bed.

Um, no reason. Just curious…

Do animals who reproduce

Asexually

Get turned on by the absence

Of phallic imagery?

Every College Essay Ever

I wrote a poem so marvelous!

About it you would rave.

Alas, I didn’t charge my phone.

I also didn’t press “save.”
