I promise I’ll never ever again <br />Subject my poetry reading friends <br />To poems too amateurish <br />Or verse too deja-vu-ish <br /> <br />So never again will I ever write <br />Poems that might be considered trite <br />Or compose frustratingly ad-hoc <br />To lament my deja-vu-ish, rhyming block <br /> <br />I’ll have to take a forced vacation <br />A decision made with no elation <br />I can’t write today, I say with sorrow <br />To keep my promise, until tomorrow<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-promise-10/
