Strange Eh

The pressure is on, can't let a day go by Without writing a poem... that would be unthinkable The Poetry Police would be breaking down my door And exacting severe punishment Us poet guys are committed (or should be! LOL) A bit of humour there... Even on those days when it feels like we're brain dead We must call on all the intestinal fortitude we can muster Even if it's a five line limerick What about a five line narrative? Does that work or am I twisting the rules? What do you call this thingy dingy that you're reading now Ha! Gotcha... it's a POEM!!!!! What a tricky guy I am... When writing about writing a poem, I'm writing a poem Strange eh!

brilliant and clever, dear Jack...writing a poem about writing a poem. Amazing. I also liked the 'poetry police' reference. I agree. We must persevere even when we think we'd rather not...for its the creativity and purpose that's at hand, not the poem per se. Have a lovely day, Sara
