Poet Ease
I don't know how to write with poet ease
-allusions, metaphors, and such as these-
I don't know how to obfuscate and tease,
with quotes from Latin, French, or....Balinese,
Though my kinfolk come from Ireland,
alas, I'm told my blarney's bleak and bland;
It seems that I was dealt a losing hand,
I'm doomed to write what plain folks understand.

Excellent poem, JJ. I really liked it!
Suzan
I liked that ... and I tend to write plainly in poetry as well ...

Sometimes, my true feelings well up unexpectedly and surge past the 'sentinels' of refinement that usually guard my lips.....and I become
...sardonic.

I believe a poem must be understood on some level by average readers. I don't give a flip what enthralls the scholars.

That simple writing is difficult. You're good at it.
I enjoyed this poem.
osso, flush'd, thankew!
Edgar, Hear! Hear!
I fear I could be misunderstood: I was kidding. I like it when you're sardonic.. as well as when you're not.
Thanks osso.
Truth be told, I wondered if you were being sardonic with me in your prior comment.
BTW did you get to ABQ yet?
