Paula Goldsmith Poet Free verse

I Have Been Told, Ca

I have been told, when I use the compute it always goes awry.

I have been told, do not blame the computer it is just a crazy machine.

I have been told, do not anguish over my typing.

I have been told, if I dream and assuage about my words I will feel better.

I have been told, I must absolve my fingers from my mistakes.

I have been told, to just talk to my fingers but they will not listen.

I have been told, I should not hold atrocious guilt when I do not win.

I have been told, I need to absolve myself and try another contest.

I have been told, there will always be another contest to enter.

I have been told, my appetency to win is what keeps me going.

I have been told, it is all about the allure of poetry that keeps me writing.

I have been told, true writers love to write.
