I don’t know if I understand poetry
beyond a limerick or rhyme,
They loved it during little and big school,
tolerated it in uni,
And the measure of worth
is supposed to weigh more there,
I read poetry sparingly – so maybe it’s that?
I have a hard time untangling my thoughts – so maybe it’s that?
I can’t always grasp my emotions – so maybe it’s that?
But the common denominator is me – and so maybe it’s just that?
My poetry isn’t powerful, isn’t visceral, isn’t moving,
am I just that?
Not enough?
