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…
