something not right
A poem that's not quite right,
Lines that don't take flight.
Words that stumble and trip,
Verses that lose their grip.
A rhyme that's slightly off,
A rhythm that makes you scoff.
Metaphors that don't make sense,
Imagery that's quite dense.
But in its imperfection lies,
A truth that never dies.
For even in its flawed design,
A poem's heart will always shine.
