stubborn poem
refuses to come out
you think you’re a poet
you think you might write a poem
but it stays hidden
when you want to be prolific
you want all those fabulous words
those elegant phrases
to stream out
how about automatic writing
yep sounds so easy
except it won’t come out
and the devil the black dog whatever
interposes
haunts you instead
the stone rolled across the cave. how to leave a breadcrumb trail to tempt it out?
ReplyDeleteAh, the stubborn poem... I could write a book.
ReplyDeleteLove it, and the personification reference.
ReplyDeleteIt is true, the haunting......
