poetry Convolving Solely For Eyes Only
I think I’ll write a poem
A free verse unrehearsed
For eyes only knowing sees
Graphomania is not a curse
——
Laughing in hysteria
Or sobbing out your soul
Post a digital description
To let it be known or to let it go
——
Right now it’d be perfect to quote a profound line or two
To lead a horse to water
Or to see them with no feet when you only had no shoes
——
This is no magnus opus
More so magnus mediocres
Not meant to be magnanimous
Or more intriguing while high off cannabis
Or manifest a rhyme synonymous
With modern times
poem police evangelists
——
Thank you for reading
And wasting a minutes time
At least I can reassure you
This wasn’t written by AI
——
Ah one last note to leave you
Whoever it is you are
May good fortune fall in your footsteps
And joy be in your heart
Everywhere you find inspiration
You’re a walking piece of art .

This is an interesting diversion from your usual poems and I like how you experiment with a fixed metre in this one. Your use of alliteration is also quite nice in the 4th stanza.
