Why I Shouldn't Write Poetry

May 26, 2013

This sonnet is taking too long to write
It really is getting quite tedious
Ten syllables isn’t enough, alright?
And these rhymes are truly quite hideous
Maybe I should just go write a haiku
I’ll even consider writing free form
This poem is dreadful that much is true
And bumpy as a ship in a storm
Shakespeare’s to blame for this feeble attempt
Such nice writing made sonnets look easy
His beautiful words often lure and tempt
But now I find myself queasy
Away from this page I shall go at last
Very thankful to put this in my past
