Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Why Can'T I Write a Poem

Why can't I write a poem
    'bout every shade of color
   kaleidoscope sunsets and brilliant blooms 
     Why's my imagery so much duller ... 

  Why can't I write a poem 
    'bout steamy love affairs
  where breathless paramours explore
    locales no eagle dares ...

  Why can't I write a poem
    in metric symmetry
  Well, I know why ~ If I did that
    I'd lose my identity

Tom Cunningham March 23, 2023 at 3:58 AM You're not alone Gershon, I leave all the mushy stuff to the romantic poets on here, but each to their own.
