If My works, do not emote emotion in detail

Then I consider each an epic fail.

–

If readers don’t think when they read my words

Then they’re all just: gibberish, trite, obtuse absurd.

–

If what I write all sounds the same

Then it’s solely the author to blame.

–

So as I write my newest work

I feel my creativity tense, and jerk.

–

Because I do not want to come across a phony

Or just another one trick pony.

–

I try new styles, tempos, and beats

Iambic pentameters and challenging feats.

–

To wow the readers as I heal

Sharing the words that make them feel.

–

That is why I write, my friend

Alas, this poem is at an end…

-aaa
