Well, since I wrote it for you, I'll see what I can do...these type of cliched poem work really well because to understand them and the mechanics of them, you have to know what a cliche is. most will be sat thinking, why has she called it cliche
.
line 6 isn't cliche enough and you spelled cliche
Is this better?
So
you don’t like my cliché
What’s wrong with it?
It’s mine
and
when merged into my mind’s eye
it dons my own true colors
or something like that? I've come up with some other options, but didn't like them too much.

.What's funny to me is that I had all but forgotten the original meaning of the word "cliché" because for the past years I have only been using the word to refer to people. I say most people are clichés of one another. I get fed up and tired with people saying the same old **** to me, no matter what country they're from, what language they speak or what situation it's in reference too. It's the monotony of tedium, or tedium of monotony. People. I like unique people who stand out from the crowd (oh, another good cliché! Hey, that might be a better one to fit into that stanza...)

(sounds like it needs another syllable there)

Good, it was fun to write too

Thanks for the inspiration
. I've reviewed my poems and I think this is the first poem of this kind (silliness) I've ever written, or ever written and saved.
