Dear poet,
How can I relate
My mind a jumbled blank slate
Words fall apart as
I struggle
Trying to create
Perfection an elusive
Absurd state
Nonetheless
Here I sit to write
Letters link together bite
Press upon me and
Come to bear
Sincerely contrite
Will transparency help or
Disinvite
Exercise 11 for How Writers Write Poetry was to write either an epistolary poem or a poem where each noun starts with the same letter. Years ago I wrote a senryu with the letter P.
People promenade
Past pesky proprietors
Purchasing parcels
I wanted to try something different. Right now my mind is a jumbled mess. We are in the last week of the poetry course. I’ve been back from Buffalo for over a week now and I’m busy trying to prep for school starting tomorrow! I did get the opportunity to purchase the Half New Year anthology from Silver Birch Press. Please check it out. There are some wonderful poets and poetry inside.
