I wish I may I wish I might
write a new poem for you every night.
And although I try so very hard
I can't seem to live up to the life of a bard.
I quiet my brain and I open my heart
and every night I come up with a start.
Next I begin to rhyme and riddle
I twist my words to create the middle.
But often I get stifled then.
Hung up in the struggle to form the end.
So my unfinished poem gets tossed aside,
and I go back to bed thinking, "Well, I tried."
Siren this perfectly sums up the whole poetry writing process for me and explains the reason I hardly ever finished poems! Writing on here is helping to relieve some writer's block though so keep posting
Eiren will wonder what's going on Jason
The rhymers have taken full control
The poor girl's just new to the website
She'll be wondering what she's struck here on WOL
The beginning's often a thought so clear,
That the idea seems to gleam and glitter,
But after an hour what you've got, I fear,
Is a paper ball to file under, "Litter."

Eiren I thought I had lost you
It's been a while since you've come back
I think you're an interesting person
(Can't find me a rhyme, cul de sac?)
I'm still trying. It's not that I can't find a rhyming word but you gotta be so careful which word you choose these days. Political correctness and all that.
I'll try again, yes, I will Eiren
I won't let this thing get me down
Now have I got an end word to screen up? (thinks....)
OK, how about poem's a noun
Still not bard status.....but I tried ?
Oh Don!
Don't sell us short just yet! We have many more lives to live and if we want it, we will. This I believe.
Then again, I believe in everything.
also... I don't believe in anything.

I started a rhyme to comment you
Pulled out words and was ready to ride
But my iambs and trochees got mixed up
Had to toss it in bin - but I tried.
We'll never make bard status Eiren......?
