If I didn't try once more...

I wasn't going to post this,

I really don't want to see

Just how little the poetry world

happens to think of me.

I'm not quick witted

Something like this takes time

To write out the story and then

Try to make it rhyme!

I do not have the courage

To post another one

I'm afraid of the criticism

Hopefully this one turns out fun!

Though, for now I rest my pen

And I put my paper back

They go upon my writing desk

I'll stack them neatly in the back

Maybe once I get

The feedback I so want

I'll pick up my pen again

And give writing poetry another shot.
