second son

My only distinction
Is that I
was born later
than the one
who had all of the fun
because he was seen
as greater.

So this is really short. I feel like it's a cop out, but I have grades due tomorrow and I didn't feel like spending too much time on writing poems today. I like that it rhymes and that I thought of it all while putting away groceries.

If short poems are a cop out, then I'm a sleazeball.

I actually think the brevity works with the subject matter: you, the second son, don't deserve more than a few lines, if that (I'm also the second son).

Good luck with the grades, bud.

Short, simple, and to the point. I like the little rhyme as well. I agree with Edward on the brevity as well.
