A Rusty Squeeze Box Poem

A Rusty Squeeze Box Poem

My poem has seized solid,
It doesn't flow or beat.
Its meter's off by miles,
Perhaps one to delete.

It craves poetry oil,
To loosen up a bit.
Oil as in new words,
Fresh idioms to submit.

A complete poem overhaul,
I shall now perform.
My rusty squeeze box poem,
I gladly will transform.

It reads a little clunky,
I'll rewrite every rhyme.
Polish them up a bit,
Shining line by line.

The last verse tricky,
A message to rethink.
Not for it to vanish,
Like an invisible ink.

That should be suffice,
My rusty poem freed.
Now flowing so smoothly,
And easier to read.

love the concept and write! Shaun you are great at these concepts you come up with! wish I was as good! I draw inspiration from all of your talents! as quoting my little grand son once as he was four and showing us the way back to his house and we tried to take the wrong turn, he said" KEEP GOING!" I only draw from life experience, and I marvel at your inspirations. keep going!................................................Jim
