Paper Bag Poetry

Paper Bag Poetry


Syntax and meter

Seem all the sweeter

When applied to life's questions to solve,

Visions and daggers

The humble and braggarts

With paper and pen I resolve.

Never too low

To go with the flow,

Musings turned substantial in spades -

Angels dont dance on the head of a pin;

They dance on the point of a blade. 

Still pay me no mind,

I'm doing just fine,

Simply working things out in my head,

I've done it before

And, what is more,

I'll be rending these thoughts till I'm dead.
