This is Not a Poem

---

This is not a poem.
My license expired.
Lapsed, uninspired.
Always tired.

This is not a poem.
Thoughtless words repeated.
Mind empty, deleted.
Emotionally depleted.

Officer, I swear, this is not a poem.
Nothing sage to find on this page.
I’m not dealing with real feelings.
Just hollowed rhymes that finally fall flat.

For, this is not a poem.

Be well,

Monty
