To get satisfaction
I am playing with rhyme
Not having a dime.

It's a kind of infection
This poetic affection.
I am scratcing a line
Mixing water with wine.

Constant threat of starvation
Excites my thought modulation.
I always have to define,
"Where & What am I going to dine?"

I need inspiration
Like a sinner needs salvation,
So I'm waiting for a sign
Stirring words in my mind.

This is extortion
Finding proper proportion.
I have to combine
So the stanza looks fine.

I am close to abortion
From this mental exhaustion.
I've got no more time.
I'm feeling squeezed like a llime.

To hell with celebration!
One last publication!
It's not a big crime,
If I were to resign. [comments] => 6 [counter] => 252 [topic] => 7 [informant] => WAE [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => HumorPoetry )

A Poet's Lot

Aye, it feels thus sometimes. And starving doesn't help, at all! I've yet to find out if there are any "starvation poets" in any culture! Though poetry has a way of inducing starvation on we who are foolish enough to follow it. Ah, well. Keep writing!

The only part that makes sense to me is where, what and when and I going to eat, lol. I am not starving for poetry's sake. I would quit writing if poetry became that important in my life. I find when things become obsessive then you lose the love for it. Kind of like real relationships.

Well, all I can say is some people are taking some things too seriously!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
