Handfuls of Empty Hands

I have written thousands of poems,
  I have poured out my inner thoughts.
I have given the world my gift of writing, 
  And I have written down a lot.

I have no time to dwell on one piece,
  For it will prevent my next.
Sometimes I even surprise myself,
  And do things I wouldn’t expect.

I write and deliver series of poems,
  Though many are sad, I’m a happy man.
But as I work twenty-four seven at this,
  I have earned handfuls of empty hands.
