Suicide Poetry

Suicide Poetry

A Poem by Ryan "rat" Travis
"

I wrote this a while back in response to the endless sea of poets who write s****y poetry but dramatically deliver it to make it sound better than it is; like Maya Angelou.

He�s�a�
graduate..
of the..
Shatner�School�
of�
poetry reading�
with..a..
minor�
in�
Adam West.
He.. pulls�
each word�
a..
veteran..
of the�
dramatic�
pause�
ever�so�
important..
each�word�
so�
critical�
so� smooth�
is each..
line�
it�s almost�
like..
sweet..
cream..
but the�
pause.. loses..
the..
meaning�
the�
pausing..
never..
stops..
and..the..
piece�
grows..
too...long
it�s..
poetic..
suicide.
