Breaking A Promise Poem by RIC BASTASA

Breaking A Promise



i promised myself
not to open this pc
and not to write a poem

hardheaded
here i am again
irritating you

no rules, no form,
no grace, no beauty,
no meter, no count
insensitive, unbearable,
persistent, pestering,
pondering, and always
on the themes of

black, shapeless,
starless, moonless
dark, cold, and damp.

i break promises.
but i do not curse.

I hear you brother. We need a Poets Anonymous..except that none of us care if we ever recover from this thing again; in fact, we pray for the opposite result.. (smile)
