Formal Struggles
As I attempt
to grasp poetic form
I stumble while
reaching for the stars
I cannot stop the
flow of words from my pen
and do not want to
So I will continue
to write blank and free verse
Writing allows one to escape
the pangs of mortality
but only briefly
One must still
deal with the world as it is
even when one has visited
the land of Faerie
