28 Jan 2019: "Why" by Despite_Myself

I read, comment, and post on reddit, and the r/Poerty reddit is my favorite. Someone posted a request for one word prompts. I commented with "why," and Despite_Myself wrote the poem below. I was very impressed and ask if I could share it here. So here it is!


"Why" by Despite_Myself

I cannot give a reason,
For I should not tell a lie
You will deplore the answer
When you implore me, Why?
