Instapoets

Keep your Facebook-tier truisms

And cringe inducing ‘poems’;

My fear is once I’m dead that

You’ll engrave on my stone:

 

here lies Ruaridh

he touched life’s

depths

he should remember

going forward

to come back up for breath.

My poems are strawberry handkerchiefs

(That means their proof is ocular);

But instapoets are fake deep

Like backwards binoculars.
