Fighting Words

J ust write a poem...that's what it said

U nderstanding not a word that has come into my head.

S o I just started to write some words to see

T hat they might just fit this category.



P roperly written in words that you'll read

O ver and over I hope to succeed.

E ven if I can't say something witty or trite

T hen again, let my words say that I've given it a fight.

R ight now I can't say that one word here even flows

Y es, fighting for words is all a poet does.

Where's your "R" line for "POETRY"? How about "Rough time describing just how it was" to fill in the gap? Otherwise, everything else looks very good.
