November 19, 2014 Writers Digest 2014 November PAD Challenge/ Excuses

Excuses

hate them                  hate to hear them

the dog ate my homework               I forgot

there is really            no excuse                                          

an excuse simply says                      it just wasn’t that important

someone                     should come up with something new

i was kidnapped                    held against my will

the world came to an                                    end

something clever                   that would excuse your lazy
                                                            neglectful
                                                            inconsiderate
                                                            solevenly ways
                                                                                    ...and mine

PS. Have you read Barry Hill's excellent book of poetry, 'Naked Clay'? A triumph of poetry where the poet examines and writes about the work of Lucian Freud. You can see it on Shearsman Books site..
