The shit I've written
Could fill a landfill
Fertilize gardens
It's hard enough
To come up with this stuff
But then what to do
With the detritus?
Reams and reams
Of consciousness streams
And lead balloons
Half-baked tunes
Flat metaphors
Wet wit
Shovel it under a blanket
To bake in the sun
When springtime comes
I'll use it again
Compost

hilarious!!
very nice take, that!!!
you can always use it to makes us laugh...just like this...
Love the lead balloons! and the little touches of rhyme are nice and not overdone!
What genre of music do you write?
Funny and punny and rich with rhyme. An original take on the prompt.
i save them as drafts.. and i am amazed to say.. a lot of it was not the poem... but my frame of mind when i wrote it that held it back.....
What a movement from "compose" to "compost"! Hysterical! The real funny part is, I relate to this totally!

Compost - Very funny and probably states the way we all feel much of the time... Nice post!
