Poetry Thursday 112 - All Wrong

 I listened to a Spike Milligan interview the other day, and he summed up his career by stating that the jokes became crazy, and the audience soon loved the crazy more than the jokes. The poem below is a protest piece. 

Spike Miliigan 

All  

 Wrong 

 

It would seem that 

I’ve been wrong 

all of the times regarding 

writing poetry 

that rhymes. 

Its seems that one has to 

produce words strewn 

across the page in a  

haphazard fashion which gladdens the eye 

rather than shows the slightest semblance of form 

or passion. 

(Who uses the  

word semblance anymore?) 

It doesn’t appear that making sense 

or enclosing a 

hidden message 

is considered praiseworthy. 

Personally, 

I 

believe  

that  

to  

be  

bollocks 

horrocks.
