I can not possibly write a poem
I now know that I’d be crazy to think
I would be able to write a poem
Writing a poem that wouldn’t at all stink

I’d burn my brain power thinking about
Attempting to write a good deep poem
Most people give up without a doubt
It’s a really easy thing to own

why writing one would be a dead end
Poems I just really can’t comprehend

Poems I just really can’t comprehend

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
