And Also Im Probably Not Good At Poetry So Thats Also A Factor For Your Consideration - Tumblr Posts

2 years ago

The literary equivalent of a dumpster fire

Tongue of silver, quick of wit

Can’t seem to find

Words that fit

Holding a clean pen

And a fresh bottle of ink

An empty page is candle-lit

An aspiring poet

That can’t keep on form

Behind the desk they sit

Inside their lonely dorm

Throwing words on a page

Trying to make them stick

A fumbling dance

Of trial and error

Trying on epithets

Presenting them to the world

Shaking hands

Trembling voice

A stumbling game

Of anxiety and terror

Impatient for inspiration

Throwing phrases around

Rolling them on their tongue

Seeing how they feel in the mouth

Hoping to find something

To spark inspiration

The start of a story

Or the ending of one

How do you end a poem?
