Giving Up On Poetry

I can’t seem to find the right key
To write this poetry
Love is good and hate is bad
Which one should I choose

One liner or two liner
How do you choose
Rim Rhyme or chime
To many choices to choose

10 Syllables and Punctuation
What is it and where do they go
I don’t know
This poetry is to confusing to me

Words I spell look good to me
But it always seems to have 
The wrong meaning for me
Poetry or Me which one do I choose

Resonates with me, my friend, and with many others as well, I suspect. Well-penned. Season's best! ~ Gershon

..."DON'T FIGHT IT!! WRITE IT!!!" Used that as a workshop title and had some great fun with some poets.

Hi Bobby, Chris inspired you to write a good poem. The technical things about poetry can cause a major headache. Why do you write? I enjoy your poetry and you giving up is not an option. Just saying. I enjoyed the read BF:-) Alexis

Chris wrote one a while back about giving up poetry and it was a joke but it inspired me to keep going, I am not going to give up yet you now have inspired me to keep going on so you and Chis have inspired me.

Poetry is a difficult task master; she pushes you to spill the beans and when its done it looks like a mess. Wait, now I'm confused ~ is this supposed to be helpful? Anyway, keep writing and have a joyful season.
