Honest

honesty has no place in poetry
it is pure illusion, hands faster than eyes
besides, if I told you the truth
you wouldn't believe it

even if I could feel your pain
I couldn't put a band-aid on your world
when I said I was a surgeon, I lied
because honesty has no place in poetry

the sky is only blue if you agree
we only see if we can see
the truth is not made of honesty
which has no place in poetry

I like this poem
but I honestly don't know what you're talking about
but since thia is not a poem I'm writing
can you believe me?

Honestly

I think it is the poet

who needs the band aids.

Nothing has a place in poetry

I think

That is its mystery for me

I liked this one a lot too clay
even if I hardly ever read poetry aloud
But even I could see hear the sound of it
