Stretch marks, surgery scar
Burns from unskillful ironing
Facial hair, bitten nails
Loose arms, belly fat
–
Thick eyebrows, broad feet
Flat nose, full lips
Overweight, self righteous mess
Really couldn’t care less

Dear Readers,
This style of poetry is known as Jorio. Nice and simple, it is like cubism in poetry. 4 lines, 4 words per line. This form was invented by Anaare from fictionpress.com.
I was introduced to this form by my dear poet friend Valida Faire. Please do read her work, she’s amazing.
Here’s a sneak peek at yours truly in a contemplative mood, just for no reason in particular :p
