Too Structured

You may have noticed I prefer flowing verse to tense verse. For me this poem was obnoxiously structured.

I’m nobody at all

I’m just a shadow on the wall

a reflection from the mirrors in your mind

I may just rearrange

or make myself quite strange

but your concepts are my full and truest bind

so if you think I’m grand

take a sec to still your hand

for my body may not be the one you find

if you see what I mean

then you know I’m what you’ve seen

but I’m also something more or less unkind

and if you don’t think so

well that shows what I know

and why none of these here pages are re-lined.
