Dear Poetry,

When I was younger, I lived my life in a carefree happy way

Then I was introduced to my first poem and I think I fell asleep

Now, years later, I write yet another horrible poem trying to sound like a good poet

It’s not working very well

I listen to songs everyday which are technically poems and I enjoy them

But when I am presented with a poem my mind goes on a vacation

I hear the poem but I don’t really comprehend it at all

Every poem you write is supposed to come from your heart

I don’t think my heart likes this poetry stuff very  much

Every time I go to write a poem I think about everything but what I should

To conclude you poem, I would like to deliver a message from my heart

Go away.

Your writer, Marcy
