Poem 34: Whirlpool MAG
August 25, 2013
my poems never come out well,
like a stain that has been through the laundry –
stubborn, but surely not beautiful.
melodramatic – my mother says.
perhaps I should try writing from different perspectives.
maybe I just need some sleep.

I believe all writers, especially poets will agree with you with this poem. The feeling is mutual. Even though, we try are hardest to create the best poem we can, it feel as though it's not enough. That what we've created is simply a rambling from the immature and unimaginative mind. That the world deserves better than what we've created. Your words are simple and delicate but relatable and heart-felt. This is a poem that is genuine and in no way melodramatic. It deserved the Editors' Choice.
