reading others poetry
today I read fifty poets’ poems
many of them have much to say
I skipped the ones about cutting
and I ignored the mushy romance poems
I also avoided the super long ones
I never read them
My attention span is not long
The ones I settled on reading were amazing
there are many terrific poets in their teens
they are clever with words
their feelings are thrown onto the page hard
no cliques, because they don’t know any
