Murder of Crows. A poem.

January 6, 2020January 1, 2020 Laidback DM

A tendency to exaggerate. Variable and inconsistent, A migratory bird, unaware Which hemisphere is up Or what time of year it is. A mountain and a molehill, Keynotes of your dependency. Furtive and insecure And longing for approval; All wayward … Continue reading Murder of Crows. A poem.

Paramour. A poem.

December 31, 2019 Laidback DM

These metaphors, So sorely overused, Are now circumspect And reeking of apathy. I long to find Such cunning words That would spin Symphonies of ardency. This paramour, In evidence alone, Has proven they Can break your heart so many times, … Continue reading Paramour. A poem.

The Wait is Over. A poem.

December 19, 2019December 15, 2019 Laidback DM

The Whole Shebang. A poem.

December 13, 2019 Laidback DM

An anger that shakes these foundations of resentment, these skyscrapers of doubt. … Continue reading The Whole Shebang. A poem.
