I heard that poetry was a way to explain things in other words

like a bird on a wire
like a drunk in a midnight choir
like a mouse who refuses to eat
like a man complaining about nothing
like a lover who ask for to much
like a knocked down trash can
like a discount brand commodity
like a turtle with a busted shell
like a song you love that makes you sad
like a man holding his palm against his forhead
like a promise that was made to be broken
like a snakes skin
like a expectation that was not met

post modern verse

Like a bird on the wire
Such as drinking at midnight choir
Refused to eat, like a mouse
Nothing like a man complaining
Many people like to ask a lover
You like junk knockdown
Discount brand like
As the turtle shell and arrest
Like a song you love, you feel sad
A man to hold the palm of his hand against his forehead
As the promise was made to be broken
Like snake skin
Such expectations are not met.
