Granite Found in the Forest...
I feel more like a rough draft than the fine print.
My condition is harsh, coarse and rugged, not mint.
I am not pretty, elegant or graceful, maybe if you squint.
I do not sparkle, twinkle, shine or glint.
But despite all of that, I can do in a stint.

Dear B,
I enjoyed this poem. It’s quite sweet in its self deprecating manner and I think it was very relatable. Welcome to DU.

Why thank you for the kind comment!
I have more rhymes written already and they're possibly the most fun I've ever had writing!

Thank you for the welcome and kind comment!
It is quite a pleasure to be here already!
Funny you say that because I thought of making it into a monostich, but decided to keep going... maybe next time I'll trust my gut :)

I think the unpolished and imperfect is so much more interesting! And beautiful.
