Steamed Letters

Poetry
these days
i feel too mild
to grasp life with
a mordacious bite

i lose my pencils easily
and i permanently 
misplace my pens
and pads

my words end up
stored away 
in fridges,
where i’d rarely
look,

Alas!

lest I turn 
ravenous
with 
rhyming
lust

my lazy verses, 
in arrears,
they become 
tears of
