Flightless

I tried and failed so many times
This one here is sure fly

Here is how the others went
A journey on paper not well spent

My pen won't flow my pencil lead broke
I tried in crayon it never spoke

Lots of colors went in the can 
One came out like "Sam I am"

My poems I wrote would not take flight
I even glued one to a kite

I cut the strings it flew for a bit
Until a pigeon it did hit

Back to the ground that poem came
Two more times results the same

This last one written  from a chair
I'll send it whole over a copper pair

On its way here its goes...CLICK
Was that the delete key ? That's it I quit
