What matters not is amplified
"This didn't go so well" he cried
the common flagrant combination
of ego and false condemnation
and worse yet, there's a dictate thrown
that poems must rhyme to be shown
it's this that ends my hesitation
to point out that my true oblation
can contain iambs and tera-dactyls
they flow the random path of fractals
-
This is meant for one you see
who openly addressed for me
the way a poem ought to be
and hence required my emnity
you'd tie each flapping bird to tree
each sunrise shown identically
each newborn breath same pitch and key
each lover's kiss generically
-
I will disagree with you
and write on here despite the hue
if sadness is the color true
sadness I will let shine through
-
in life I rejoice much more than weep
and invented characters inside I keep
and these are sometimes written too
but you can't see what's really true

What I came here to disperse
is what you've shown
your ground laid prone
in a poetry-less Universe.
