Poemmxxiii

By Steven James Pratt

these scrawls span the year
decomposed in amsterdam and
dudley

once more first thought
best thought for the most part
disarmed by a lowercase
kneecapping all caps
some rhyme some not
raps that sprung to mind

made in some cafes
bedrooms bars
lounges and coffee shops
here presented for your reading
pleasure

with luck raise a smile or two
a thought leading to something else
not here on the page but hovering
above it

these fly writs would not be
possible without the loving
kindness of my friends family
and supporters

i hope one of these 8000 + words
resonate with you
publish or perish
or persist and resist?

you be the judge
tell a friend
nudge nudge
all love
