A good friend complained the other day
I’d done no poems for a while.
“He’s correct”, I said to myself
but how long it’s been I cannot tell.
Was I lacking the discipline
that would make me do the hard work
as I settled back in laziness
trying all my writing to shirk?
I became busy at Easter time
and was tired when it was ended.
So I seemed to take a mental rest
as my poetry was suspended.
During the time things went unnoticed
which would earlier have caught my eye
so I will try to pay attention
and not let those things pass me by.
