I was going to write
something important
but then I got to thinking
about books and poetry
how many books never opened
how many books left on shelves
how many poems left like orphan cats
upon a doorstep
I was going to write
something important
but instead went down
this dead-end road
delete
as soon as you read this
it wasn't important.
I have shelves full of books I have not yet read. But keep telling myself one day...
Great poem
Great poem, loved the orphan cats. I hate throwing away
a book. Even if one doesn't read it anymore it is like a friend. Jennifer

I had never thought about this. An important point. Particularly like the analogy to orphan cats.
Thank you Taylor

It's annoying when you get that feeling that you're going to write something important and then zzzzzzzzzz.......
