I Have Tried to Write an Epic

I have tried to write an epic

But an Epic doesn’t come,

I guess I have no words for one of these

 

My mind must be to narrow

To draw the thinking from.

And narrowness equates to mental freeze.

 

I’ve read some older masters

And admired their verbal couth,

And wish my thoughts ran on to longer things

 

But I only know one language

Only on tongue fills my mouth,

And so one song is all that I can sing.

 

Only one can be called native

That is where one speaks his best

All others learned will have an untrue note.

 

Since my voice doesn’t run to epic

I’ll use my pen for an inquest

…….Into a view of livings anecdote!
