I Don’t Write Poetry…

I write poems of myself,

I am helped by my lil’ writers elf,

He sits on my shoulder and critiques,

At times he acts quite meek,

At others he says I am quite unique,

Then again at other times he tells me to improve my technique…

I write stuff to entertain,

To tell of the self that should be plain,

I speak of the fact of my insanity,

I relate to the reader of my lack of a brain…J

The poems I do write,

Do seem to be quite for some out of sight,

With my lil’ writers elf I do sometimes fight,

Tougher than me he does be,

He is in reality no weight that is light…

We poem together,

Writing with a touch light as a feather,

Though few comment or peruse our work,

Those that don’t he considers to be the jerks…J
