I like the letter f

i wish i could write something

so brilliant your mind will unhinge

instead im sitting here staring

into the soft glare of my laptop screen

if only i had the slightest inkling

of what poetry is actually about

i wouldn't look like a fool right now

sitting here trying to rhyme out loud

sleep is the last thing on my agenda

frustration floats to the fore

a bit of alliteration wont do any harm

maybe ill even throw in a metaphor

what is it that people do at 1:30 am

i cannot fathom

i roam the internet aimlessly

a directionless phantom

slowly the frigid fingers of fatigue

pry shut my eyes

my mind finally finds peace

in a soothing harmony of lies.
