Description
PretensionYou ferret it away, your
Pretension.
Hoard it, guard it
Jealously,
It's the jewel in your crown.
Where will you be when
Your misconceptions come home to roost?
You feel like you're choking, grabbing greedily at
Pretension
Loving the buttersoft raspberry feeling of it on your tongue.
Tied up in silicon sackcloth and ashes is your
Pretension,
Commanding even more attention in drab surroundings.
Quiet attention
Feeds your
Pretension
And I am
Feeding on you.

XD I'll do that. High time I got some symbolism anyways- the really famous guys received it in spades (like any of these coffeshop nitwits know what they wanted to say). Huzzah for cynical poetry!

i've had writers block for 3 months, hahah. the best thing to do is write the poem, wait for the first comment to interpret what it means, then rewrite your description saying "uh, oh yeah, this is what its about"
its about time i found some cynical poetry at devart anyway, makes me feel less alone. not only cynical poetry, GOOD cynical poetry
decent work

I don't think I can get writer's block...that requires being a writer to begin with.

Seems to deviate a bit from your usual flow, but I really like the message here...nice choice of title...it suits this so very well...
Hope that you don't come down with writer's block that sucks so very much...
