Poetry Drafts / 20 August 2023

I have resigned to only one
Hug a day,
Because the rulers say
I need only one
Hug per day.

I have resigned to only two
ComplaInts a day,
Because the rulers say
I need only one
Hug per day.

I have resigned to only three
Poems a day
Because the rulers say
I need only one
Hug per day.

I have resigned
To discard twice a day
Any complaints conveyed
Through poetry.
