Fatigue
Know something's amiss:
Passing paperclips
Beneath fingertips
Tingle with promise
The ego gone wrong
In fashioning pain
As some kind of game
In guise of being strong
Yet elsewhere bombs fall
Of course we can care
The cowardly dare
To answer the call
False means to atone
For wallowing guilt
At all the blood spilt
That isn't your own

Motivation
For a poem about motivation
I find myself lacking real inspiration.
After a period of procrastination
It’s become a source of great frustration.
Is this real artistic creation
Or just intellectual masturbation?
But following quiet contemplation
I had a sudden revelation:
What I am lacking is
The title.

Writing in Rhyme
Please consider watching this slam live on Youtube (with subtitles):

I can’t help writing in rhyme. I do it all the time.
Rhymes sneak into my texts unbidden
Or if they’re not there, or are too well hidden
Their absence clangs like a bell
And I feel compelled to find them somewhere… bear, care, dare, hair, tear… repair, despair…
