If a poet is not inspired <br />Because he's very tired. <br />Should he become depressed <br />At a lack of poetic success? <br />Is that the thing for him to do? <br />Just sit there and stew. <br />Is there no way, <br />But for him to have the blues all day? <br />Sitting in the dark and gloom, <br />Having a sense of foreboding and doom. <br />No, I say, no. <br />He should pick himself up and go <br />To a place full of bliss and delight. <br />Perhaps to a park to fly a kite. <br />And there he will find the means <br />To obtain an insight so keen <br />As to how to write words <br />That are poetic, not absurd.<br /><br />Jeff Fleischer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-a-poet/
