A poet’s life is an awkward one, <br />he sits with pen and paper in hand, <br />writes down what comes into his head, <br />prints it up, reads it through, <br />only to find that someone <br />can’t understand <br />a blinkin’ word he’s written. <br />The most frustrating part <br />is that he understands it perfectly well, <br />so now he has to explain and tell <br />what the whole thing is about. <br />At times, a poet’s life <br />just wants to make you scream and shout. <br />So you take pen in hand again, <br />hoping what you write this time <br />they will understand. <br /> <br /> <br />(7 May 2007)<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-poet-s-life-fun-poem-13/
