Write an Ugly Poem
Some poetry is a ten
maybe your next poem will be
beautiful to men
or destined to be ugly
There’s more to your art
than what others might think
reasons like your part
conversations in your ink
or fleeting digits
flickering on screens
Face it early
face it now
Beautiful but vain
rhymes without a meaning
bring only boredom and pain
…empty without feeling
You don’t write for that
breathing while you’re dreaming
Poetry that’s ugly
if it’s poetry for real
Makes the poem pretty
…beauty you can feel
