Paper And Scissors Poem by Kevin Patrick

Paper And Scissors

Rating: 5.0


Some people go like peanut butter and jam
Able to flow with congenial skill
Others go broke like an old can of Spam
Unmalleable tang with no friends for frill
But we're so unique were innately in sync
A Matching enigma of opposite Rhyme
Possessing duel skills the other cants sink
Combined to conform in a magical Enzyme
We're not made to be lovers, but that makes us good sisters
Like butter and bread were Paper and scissors



We're opposite ends cut from the same cloth
Performing as add-ons to others grand opuses
And never catching respect or an afterwards applauds
Always having to clean up a bed of dead Roses
But together we click like lightning and thunder
And make our dreams real with intuitive second sight
For you have the shape, I can shear and asunder
Igniting creations that are brighter then starlight
We're paper and scissors the sidekicks of fools
But when where together we can make heavens Jewels


We'd kill each other as lovers
but that just makes us good partners
Respecting our faunas with mutual interest
My acerbic shears matches your blunted affect
Like paper to scissors were Rogers and Hammerstein
Born with the half of the others great mind
Divided where objects of inanimate substance
But when were together we stimulate an essence
Greater than the sum of our limitations
We are the master of our dreams creations

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
A while back a friend of mine wanted me to write something with just the title Paper and Scissors, they wanted it to be about our friendship, with just those two words paper and scissors I struggled with how to write it for a long time until two days ago I thought of the opening line and it just started rolling from there. Hope you enjoyed it. Its strange being asked by someone to write from their ideas, and being 'commissioned'. It was an interesting challenge and I am glad I've gone through with it.

How awesome! Thanks to your friend we have now a poem full of depth! Yes indeed the delicious dishes that can be cooked out of the most different ingredients... Naturally we may discover connections in mostly anything...All that we need is to agree with one menu, one task, isn't it? Haha, I also had such challenge to write about a toothbrush, thought I could never do it then just like yours rolled itself out.

Yes the opening lines of this poem tell well the depths of this poet's skill, wonderful beautiful opening lines and I totally got the intended ending and exact expression mastered in the closing lines Born with the half of the others great mind Divided where objects of inanimate substance But when were together we stimulate an essence Greater than the sum of our limitations We are the master of our dreams creations
