Anothe bizzare attempt at poetry that comes deep from the psyche. (Or something like that)

Someone asked me recently,
how often do I write.
I told a little fib
and said each and every night.

Now I want to confess,
to the truth behind it all.
I have not written anything,
nothing new at all.

The words you see before you,
do not actually exist.
They are a figment of your imagination,
bet you didn’t expect that twist.

    Nice bit of nonsense, Ali. Another contender for Hot Content?

    Here’s my nonexistant comment on your nonexistant poem. :-)

    You’re right. I didn’t expect that twist. :>)

    I always knew you were just the pretend part of my psyche that’s slightly masochistic. Clever little poem :P

    That was cute for a figment of my imagination.

    Very creative! You walk that thin line between genius and insanity. I like that in an author.

    hey whatever works. I have so many poems that I’ve written over the years plus ones I’ve written recently that old or new it is the same because it is the first read for you.
    hang in there and write when the ’spirit’ moves you to do so.
