fate of the sinful poet

[josie_loves_poems]

(this is a series of haikus)

fate of the sinful poet
“i won’t shoot too far,
“icarus is not my fate”
empty promises

never seen again
eaten by the clouds and sun
flown away from “home”

hot sun burns my lungs
reach further to grasp the star
i pop, burst open

crumble flip and fall
freely down and back to hell
they say i belong

sun was my escape
the brilliant hell trap of
lies and thoughtlessness

write then burn then write
tell your god to kill me quick
after what i’ve preached

scribble flimsy words
sizzle pop sink through my grasp
in this hell’s best flame

spared are the poets
the most thoughtful damnation
burn their horrid words
