Basic

I’m a basic poet, 

writing more to reveal than conceal. 

A skimpy bra of words 

often struggles to hold 

the ginormous mounds 

of emotion wobbling inside. 

I don’t like to look in much 

weeping flesh fills me with distaste. 

Nor do I sit fondling 

my existential parts. 

I let it surface as and when it must, 

so I may flash it to you 

when least expected.

A confession?

I enjoyed this very unusual and imaginative poem. “Nor do I sit fondling my existential parts”. My favorite lines from the poem. That will stick in my mind for quite a while. Well done.

Thank you. Its nice to know you liked it. :)

You can flash your existential parts in public if you so desire. External parts is another story.

I thought that but somehow liked the wording, so let it remain. Thank you Baptist. :)
