| One of My Own after reading Denise Duhamel’s poems I want to write one of my own and, although, I know it’s the lamest thing in the world for a writer struggling with writer’s block to write about how he’s unable to write I don’t care because I’m filling up the lines of this page and it feels good and it feels right and I don’t think about it as something other people will look at and laugh at and point to saying, this is definitely the kind of thing you want to avoid, especially, you young writers, out there remember: don’t fall into the trap of writing poems about how you can’t write poems because it’s old and tired and, frankly, no one wants to hear it, anymore no, I don’t think about it like that at all because sometimes it’s good to do something that has been done before and even if a million people have, already, done it and every one of them has done it better than I could ever do it doesn’t mean I shouldn’t do it too so I do and I like it and when it’s done I feel better, even, if just a little bit |
