You'd think that people would have had enough of silly sad poems?
Are sad poems as prevalent in poetry as love songs are in music?
Well I for one have had enough! Let's get happy people! If only for a little while.... What do you think of my poem?
Ipanema….
The name alone
puts a Jobim bounce in my step
The boardwalk’s alive
but no see no hot papis yet
The pink thong bikini
is an invitation to stare
But the only accepts
are flabby men with too much hair
No matter, no matter
I enjoy their warm pervy grins
And how the sun’s juicy lips
leaves lipstick sweat on my skin
And how my Skol’s crispy taste
brings out the beach’s fuzzy glow
Like the sunshine on the ocean
swimming in the tide’s ebb and flow
Brazil! Brazil! I love Brazil!
Capoeira on sand
Havaianas on feet
Bronze on body
Romance on tongue
I’m melting! I’m melting! From the bliss of it all!
I’ll be a puddle for sure
if I live here for good
Better get back on the plane
And stay solid in the States
I probably should have stayed with the same form throughout, but I just got too excited, I couldn't help but break out of it!!! Is that forgiveable?
