The Best Poem Ever Written
In the best poem ever writ by me or anyone besides the first sweet couplet brings tear drops to sooth dry eyes awed by the awesome alliteration folks forward it to Facebook friends they'll all agree with little hearts loving the best poem ever seen gone viral as an online meme.
The words become an urban myth the rhymes put greeting cards to shame preteen girls write it in passed notes politicians stump with misapplied quotes to introduce fund-raising URLs it's on resisters' protest signs bumper stickers and billboard heights anthologies begin and end with it rap artists trade their bling for rights.
The best poem cuts through fake news like an ever-sharp QVC butcher knife after reading it together, divorcing celebrities unite reciting it out loud can change an unhappy life college professors write theses and more relating it to every poem gone before it is the best poem ever writ and I must admit, this isn't it.
