Why No Poems

He asks me often
Why I did not write poems
When I fell in love with him

Dazed under your spell
I sure lost my footing like
A ball rolling down a slope

Words abandoned me
A thick cloud covered my brain
You think insane folks can write? 

I’m sorry, he said
A klutz I am to forget
All things wrong always my fault
