A Poet's Dilemma

An elementarily simple expression of the yearning angst in the heart of a poet. Or, why poets are so depressed.


A Poet’s Dilemma

I sit on the bank of the fisherman’s stream
Feeling depressed and wanting to scream.
For how can I write of the large-mouthed bass
When I’m standing here sticking my thumb up my ass?

How can I bespeak the wonders of thee
When I’ve nailed my tongue to the trunk of a tree?
Oh what a well-read poet I’d be
If I scribbled on paper instead of my knee.

The day grows dark.
The light does pass.
I’m standing here stuffing
My head up my ass.
 

Dennis Domrzalski

Hi Dennis...This is the first time I've ventured into your den. You are different, irreverent and a tad shocking. I did laugh though! As to whether poets are depressed, speak for yourself :-p I'm not depressed, I'm impressed! Looking forward to reading more of your work. I am taking a look at the preview for stinky feet.

"chuckle". Ok, so you said it and yes, there are times I think we are all caught in that same position.

After I have worked my way through hundreds of love and heartache-poems this one is quite different - and exactly what I needed to read.
Thanks for the laugh.
