Friday poem

I'm posting an original poem every Friday for a year. I only write a few poems every year.

Why I Have Stopped Writing Poetry

Dickinson? Her lines are too short

for all the words

I'd like to fit in.

I'd give Poe a go but I'm depressive enough.

Pound's too heavy

and Frost leaves me cold.

I wouldn't mind writing like Robert W. Service

but the woods, alas, make me nervous.

Neruda? Nah.
