Impossible Task For a Dreamer

Can't write about Christmas or New Years Day, Written just for Paula's Or Easter or Kwanzaa or any other Holiday. Contest :) I've written too much about war, about love, and depression and sex both deserve a shove. I guess that I could just swallow my pride, And sneak in a write about suicide' But Paula don't want these kinds of idolitry, She wants us to write a poem about poetry. How do you write about what you never said, Or the way that words rattle around in your head? Or how hard those words are to make a pen fashion, Or how when they're written they seem to lose passion? O Poem, what can I write about you? I think until my thinker turns blue, I come to the end of a poem about poetry, But it won't rhyme.

William, like you, I find I enter very few contests ... my imagination will not conform to rules, my poetry rules the way things must be ... love this very much. Do it again.

I really like this one. gosh, I hope i understood her theme correctly. If it was to write on poetry itself, I missed the "boat" (and my Titanic poem is sunk) This was way cute. Luv, Andrea
