The shortest poem

The shortest poem might be someone’s name

It Might be a three letter question

It might be a two letter declaration or it might be a one letter pronoun

Or maybe it’s the story in their eyes.

If i were hungry and wanted to eat a pomegranate. I’d simply chop it in half and twist it open with the red juice dripping down my wrists thats I how I would eat a pomegranate

If you were hungry and wanted to eat a pomegranate.

I’d simply toss you a pomegranate

If you open the pomegranate I’ll promise to get all the seeds out for you

If she wanted to eat a pomegranate

I’d grab a cutting board so none of the red juices would spill onto her counter. I’d cut it into slices of 7 not 4 or 6, 7. Because seven is your favourite number. Id pluck every seed carefully as to not puncture one. Then most importantly I’d wash the juices off my hand because you don’t like red. Then I’d sit there ready to help if the red juices dripped down your delicate skin.

“Now that I’m not loving you I’ve found so many other things that I love”

“I like it when I plague your mind and I like it when you hate it”

“I love you”

Thoughts of you no longer envoke

No more tears to cry while I lay woke

I miss your mere back that I’d stand on to be taller

It’s odd that I chose you when your list of prospects was when compared to the next much smaller

I thank you for your original dissertation

However my reply did not get past your defence registration

My comprehension is you’ve yet to heal from your last affliction that originated from your actions

Yet, I relent, as i am still injured myself but my cognizance allow my attempts of improvement some traction

First time failed

Second time, same result; we bailed

I believe there’s a say about fouls for this type of thing

But thanks for teaching me poetry and making me a paper ring

If I had to say I gained more than those valuables I’ll say I found out what to avoid.

Listen to his actions the first time because the promise to better next time will void

I hope you enjoy using me as a learning curve to another class you refuse to attend

But this is all I have to say or write to you due to the face that I don’t enjoy shoving salt into a wound I’m trying to tend

from now till evermore I recall my energy, my mind, my thoughts and my attention

But in next April and your name gets mentioned

I might ask once my clarity is unclear
