the blueprint (how to tie a noose blindfolded)

evocative metaphor
strained by
adverse adjective
frustration
ill defined need
pensively beautiful
expression of pain
petulant diatribe on
feeling insignificant

change metaphor
build new tension
express dichotomy
pull apart emotion
into warbling
dissonance confusing
intial verse

sloppily interwtine
the two disparate
metaphors into
a painful sluice
with a hopeful glance
at a happiness
that will always
remain just beyond
your feeble grasp

rinse and repeat
seven thousand times
despite the disinterest
shown to a dead art
try and ignore the
fact anyone with a
rhyming dictionary
can do it just as well
as you rot away in
the words no one reads
