Discarded Poem

Every word was engrossingly sincere,

examined almost to the point of microscopic ingenuity

Thesaurus opened, riffled, reflected upon

A collagulation of themed ideas

distilled into a rhythmic chorus

whose intention was to spark

depths of emotion, connection, and understanding.

It was a labor of ultimate love, tenderness,

A hybrid beauty without flaws.

“It’s good. I like it.” He said flatly;

returning to the video game without pause.

    Ugh. Very well expressed. I think everyone who writes can relate to this.
