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.

Dear Dennis,
You are a scream!
That is something I wish I could do. Thanks for the laugh.

Oy Vey...what a dilemma you have! Haven't most of us had days like this, but cannot express them as uniquely as do you! :o)

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.
