A Writer's Lament

• Artist: The One and Only Deli
• Description: Ever have one of those ideas you never put to paper? I get those a lot, then I'll forget them, and it gets frustrating. Luckily, the poem I thought of just about that subject I actually did write down, and here it is.

O, to be a poet!
To be the one to know it,
the words.
Supposedly.

Strands of incomplete tales,
spoken to the knighting-gales
never to be conceived by ears.
Endlessly.

Songs to be sung
to a shower head, and strum
to a wall. But never done.
Constantly.

Walls of silent ideas, waves
of thoughts to be craved
by other authors. Not beckoned; unwanted.
Sneakily.

Undermined by procrastination,
words never to reach their location;
the paper under the sword.
Unfortunately.

O, to be a poet!
To be the one to know it,
the words.
Supposedly.
