Write a Dumb Poem

Nuts!

I must be nuts!

Nothing to worry about

No fear of a misplaced word

no fear of a comma where

should be a semicolon

paragraphs in proper order

sentences as should be

all writing accepted

rounds of editing

from me to him

and back to me...

then back to him

all editing through

Cover art long

since agreed

Last of three books

on way to printing,

two and a half decades

of writing then re-writing

then re-writing again...

and again

All through

nothing more to do

nothing more

I can do

no words arriving

in the middle of the night

no thoughts coming

that must

simply must

be remembered

no vital thought repeating

repeating in my mind

time and time again

to remember

So I must be nuts

because from the

TV in the living room

then back to the computer

and back again

then once more

having a need to go on

but go on with what

Nuts!

I must be nuts!

So I think I’ll write a dumb poem

Yeah, write a dumb poem!
