The Present Tense (a Poem)

The Present Tense
Keep it Brief

Plate on a hot back burner melts;
scrambled eggs on the little blue plate;
a black cat approaches the yolks, sniffs;
fire catches cat;
sofa catches fire.

It's pretty hot on the sofa,
writing this poem.

I'm sorry Mr./Ms. Anonymous for posting my comments, but I really don't remember leaving Mr. Nick's blog and stumbling on to yours. If Mr. Nick has a problem with my postings he can tell me to shut the hell up. But as of now, I will continue to post. Sorry if this bothers you.

I don't understand what Nate meant.

I agree. Some people like commenting on every little thing for absolutely no reason. Does it make us bad people?

Maybe, but bad is the new good.

I thought the poem was ok in general, but I actually really liked

fire catches cat;
sofa catches fire.
