Poetry, My War

Anthony7 Comments

Every poem is a battle

Fiercely fought over:

Words, technique, and style

I wish it came easier.

–

But I have to claw and fight

For every word or phrase I write

Maybe I’m meant for other things

Like cooking fries and onion rings.

–

Writing shouldn’t be a war

It should be a lot of fun

Not second-guessing to, abhor

It shouldn’t be fought, it should be won…
