They'll Find Fault Anyway!

In a world where you can't escape judgment, this limerick tries to dive deep into the absurdity of trying to please everyone. Even if you perform the impossible—like walking on water—someone will still find fault, questioning your intelligence and abilities. With a touch of irony, this piece wants to highlight  the endless nature of criticism and the futility of seeking universal approval. It’s th...

They come from far

Blind, I grown blind.

No color, no light.

The tiger-lilies scratch and chase me,

They say my will is cracked and torn,

to judge you

either way

 

if I make something beautiful

will you take the time

to kiss it with your praise

or will you rip it to shreds

with your own experience

 

are you qual...

bombardment

hurry..hurry..

volatile flickering glim--

exposed and expiring

within trenchant

tangling convolutions

 

murmur..murmur..

fragile faithless prayers--

wrestled and relented

from incoherent

idling dissolutions

 

stumble..stumble..

My Poetry

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In writing poetry

I am a hack.

But I enjoy

writing so give

me some slack.

 

With the

comments don't

be mean, or

overly critical.

 

Please be

correct,

and please

be political.
