A Writer's Curse
Reality wanders with illusion
Poems dissolve into what should have been
These written dirges of disillusion
From a mind, I am completely trapped in
I have come to judge my poetic word
And want time useful for poem's failure
To seek reasoned answers why it occurred
Know it is not worthy of regalia
I'll accept the finding of its review
Whether to start over, tear it apart
To struggle once again with something new
Only to find it conceptual art
To wrestle with words for poetic verse
Can sometimes be a failure and a curse
