The Problem With Your Poems

The problem with your poems is
You’re one of many whizzes
Sitting on a hoard
of brilliant gems obscured;
For we can not read them all
Nor the crop on Fall;
Thus they’ll gather dust
But write them, ‘cause you must!

Thanks. If people wouldn’t have to work for a living or filled up on whatever mundane tasks, more poems would get read.

I guess that perhaps this s a better problem to have than a bevy of 'sluggish' poems. LOL. Interesting ink, methinks! :) gw

That is a problem. Well penned, Hannah.

It’s completely unfair. Every other type of talent gets due fuss. (This topic excludes me, because I’m not a poet.)

Thanks for your comment. Satire not intended. So much great poetry, we can hardly scratch the surface.
