Welcome to “Poetry at The Arts Fuse.” A new poem every Thursday

The Lego Rose is Obsolete

Neckline spazzing like a bat

Who needs to be read to bed

With lots of expression

Skittles have entered the chat

If I’d read any novels

I’d say you were a character

Something about you screams

Mystery flavor

Long weekend concept:

Don’t leave the apartment

Trochee trochee trochee trochee

Sugar sugar sugar sugar

I have a nice ass

But it’s nothing original

It might be tiny

But you’ve got a perfect singularity

No use in flailing

Till the cream turns to butter

One frog to another

What the hell is cream

Me God made in his own .jpeg

You from Schiele’s rib cage

Let’s skip to the end

Just so we’re on the same page
