ITS REAL- a bathos by Longe Tobi

Hi friends... this 5 line poem is my most recent attempt of the use of a poetic device called 'bathos' which is simply the transition from the sublime to the ridiculous to achieve a ludicrous and sometimes a comical effect... do tell me if I nailed it...

THE WORLD STAND STILL, ITS REAL
YOUR BEAUTY FILLS ALL WITH GLEE
AND I RESPOND, MY LOVE
THIS IS IT, HEART PALPITATING
I MUST GET YOUR PICTURE ON MY BB.


All thanks to the students of creative writers niche poetry college (OAU), it was in one of the lessons that this poem was spawned... its a privilege
