The Truth about Me

 

Poetics Aside Prompt: Take the phrase “The Truth About (blank),” replace the blank with a new word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write the poem.

I’m not very complicated

Ordinary; yes, that’s me

But darling, fame is over-rated

I prefer simplicity

One would think simplicity

Is quite easy to maintain

But it takes purposed resolution

In this era bent on gain

God forbid that I will squander

In the driven lust for things

The purest offerings of His wonder

Set before us; fit for kings
