I Disown Myself
Partly an explanation of why I've not been on here since the fall of Rome. I've been involved in other things instead. Also, I read a lot of my old poems and I hate half of them so it's me coming to terms with that. Of course, it is indeed a poem about why I've not written poems. Awkwardly enough.
On with the show!
_____
I have written centuries worth
Paper piles high in a skyline of its own
Mainly characterised by its quality.
Largely unreadable.
I have been published
In compilation. Bit part writer.
I barely write at all. I have turned
On myself in a phoenix rising
Lazily. I illustrate in awkward romances
Of dieselpunk and theremin.
I disown large swathes of my canon
It has chased up on me. Looming jungle dances.
However, I shall return in
A phoenix rising
Lazily.
Perhaps.
