The place just beyond my eyes, where my spirit flies.

It’s so hard to write a poem,
Ideas, themes, and rhyme schemes escape me,
What should it be about?
Should it be free verse?
Or a Canterbury Tale in iambic pentameter,
Should I write it darker than dark,
Lighter then light,
Or just gray?
When I write one thing,
It tells another story,
As sirens tempt me to give up,
But I rack my brain against their song,
I need a poem with,
Well… I don’t know yet.

It’s so hard to write a poem,
When one is birthed inside my head,
I have no paper to write it on,
So it gets lost inside me,
Locked up,
Never to see the world again,
And when I do have paper,
My idea is afraid to come out,
Afraid to be immortalized on paper,
My words are fickle,
So very picky.

It’s so hard to write a poem,
Wait I think I just did.

Hah, cute. Next step is writing a good poem.

Just buggin' you, man... I know how it is, I just came downstairs to the computer lab in the university after trying desperately to write a poem. I ended up writing something called "boredome" that was so random and pointless that it's not even worth showing anyone (the only reason I called it Boredome is because I accidentally added an E at the end).

I might post it... might.

Probably not.

Best of luck writing though, Darkness.

I like this. I have the same problem, hence my lack of inspiration lately! I like the Cantebury Tales reference! Here's an idea..... how about a modern version of that? I'll get to work on it!

But yeah, this poem about not being able to write poems(or not having the right mind to go about it) was good enough to be a cute poem

Are you scared? BOO! Are you now?
