When I read good poetry
I want to write good poetry
But my feeble affectations
And wanton masturbations
Pale to insignificance
When compared to
Browning, Whitman, YeatsI yearn to write good poetry
The way I yearn to read good poetry
But such poetic vastness
Just becomes loquaciousness
Flowing perspicaciously
Away into a vast, uncaring
And unconcerned wilderness
I write a lot of poems, some from my head, some from my heart. Many don’t appear on this website. For more of my poetry, check out The All or the Nothing, my first e-book, available at most online book sellers.
You do write good poetry

Thanks, William. Like so many poets I’m full of self doubt, pretty much all of the time lol 🙂

You always do, Tara! ‘Self-doubt’ is my middle name. Along with ‘Self-pity’ and ‘Where did I put my car keys’ 😉
