Poetry? (K)not Me!
Some days poetry calls
for astonishing mental gymnastics
but when you’re not graceful
or the least bit elastic
there’s every possibility
it’s an exercise in futility.
Sometimes it feels like a workout,
athletic and weighty – intense;
sometimes a marathon,
sometimes a sprint –
at other times, more like
extreme self defense.
There are times when I’m
twisted and tangled
in words,
in inklings and meanings
I’m tied up a lot.
The fact is
(it’s simple, and easy to see)
at times, I’m a poet
at times, iam(b)
(k)not.
