    Poem Commentary

    So, it's Valentine's and naturally everyone has to overflow the poetry rouster with poems 'n crap. Here's mine. I have no clue where I was going with it, I just thought it was clever. Please don't patronize me on how it doesn't make sense if it doesn't make sense to you.

    The Games We People Play

     This game of Life is rubble
        So Sorry, and yet Trouble
      This weird feeling is a Pictionary of advice

    Our loving words are now Taboo
        And I'd love to learn to get a Clue
      If I'd only apply and try to Break The Ice

    Have you Scene It? how I've tried
        The Apples to Apple of my eye
      It Boggles me to Scrabble to your side

    And what do we Connect Four?
        It is a Trivial Pursuit I'm sure
      But I love you and that's something I can't hide

    Don't Scrutineyes my feelings
        Don't Guess Who is appealing
      The Chutes and Ladders we've felt along the way

    This pounding in my Chess
        Why is Anybody's Guess
      It will need an Operation to get you to stay    

    This Mouse Trap as I've seen
        Is a love Monopoly
      And my Catchphrase is "Baby, I love you"

    Oh the games we people play
        That seem to be a big Charade
      But I want you to know that mine will always hold true

    Incredible piece of writing, and so clever. Love the play on words and using actual game names to put this together. Thoroughly enjoyed it and it has a clear message. Instant 10 from me ;-)

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
