Not Quite Poetry

Every day I use my time
Writing poetry line by line,
Sometimes I can make it rhyme,
Sometimes....... I can’t.

My head is full of tum te tums
When I just want to write 
The serious stuff on big long lines 
like proper poets might

The words come out as simple ones
Not intelligent or deep, 
Nor contemplative trains of thought
that make the reader weep

Poetically inclined I’m not
It doesn’t really matter
I’ll just keep writing day by day
And maybe I’ll get batter er..better

    Sometimes complexity is just complicated. Simplicity is refreshing and at times more challenging.
