I'm trying <br />I'm really trying <br />But all my thoughts <br />In words go flying. <br /> <br />It ain't much fun <br />As all my verse <br />Remains averse <br />In spite of In-spir-at-ion! <br /> <br />Iambs just jam, <br />Trochees clam, <br />Pentameters, tetrameters <br />Are bounded by parameters. <br /> <br />Sonnets, lyrics, epics, odes, <br />Cantos-pantos, other modes <br />Buzz my brain <br />And then implode. <br /> <br />Dum-de-de, dum-de-de, <br />De-de-dum, de-de-dum, <br />De-dum-de, <br />De-dum, <br />DUMB!<br /><br />Margery Rehman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-would-be-poet-s-lament/
