To make things interesting, I am thinking about culling the bottom 5% of all poetry and prose I selected for my soon-to-be-published book Love Like Yesterday Didn’t Happen.
But.
Before making any final decision, I would like to ask you (my followers) if perhaps some of those pieces should be kept in the collection?
To start things off: the following poem has been nominated (by me) to be removed from my poetry book Love Like Yesterday Didn’t Happen. I do not like the ending, and I have given up on trying to fix it.
So, what do you think, should I keep it in? Or does it have to go?
Bent over
A Fairy Tale of Likes, by Khadim Zaman
Looking down at your phone
Your friends virtual
The smile on your face real
Bent over
Looking down at my phone
I missed your glance
Your disappointment fleeting
Maybe we will meet online, someday
In a fairy tale forest of Likes
I will be your Big Bad Wolf
Your Prince Charming
You, my Princess
Or, Wicked Witch perhaps?
We could be what we want to be
My dear
