The Blot on My Corner

Gintaras Petras Umbrasas

A blank sheet of white paper am I,
Unwritten, unmarked by the sky.
Just a blot, a dark stain,
From the ink that remains,
In the corner it lies,
A large spot that defies.

About this poem

I am a blank sheet of white paper, pure and untouched. Yet, in my pristine emptiness, there lies a single large ink stain in the corner, a mark that defies the otherwise clean expanse. This blemish, though small, stands out as a significant imperfection in my otherwise perfect state.
