Cliché Laden Navel Gaze at Poetry

Doggerel Dave

The poets I ignore can worry me;

I feel I could do with more empathy.

Then ‘Why should I care?’ the dominant thought,

For they never give me the time of day;

Probably best we both do it our way.

                  ***

It just doesn’t stop me having some guilt -

This the way creativity is built?

All this soul searching, I’ll give it away,

Why must I put myself under so much strain

When contributions here do keep me sane?
