MIA

Miserable cur that you are, 
You still need not 
Agonize over 
 
A poem's arrival as if it were 
Some long-overdue missive 
From a missing loved one— 
 
It will appear when 
You least expect it and do what 
It’s always executed so well— 
 
Put you out of your misery.

  1. BRAVO! A beautifully alive poem that is beautifully executed.

    Excellent title. And one also thinks, after reading it, "Well, this one is found in action!"

    Fine near rhymes and excellent rhythm; read aloud, this job performs splendidly.
