A Talent Or Two

The said that I could have been

A boxer.

“Natural talent” they told me.

But there was always

One, or two, or three

Better

Than me.

They said my art was

Emotional, intuitive.

That it could really give.

But too bad

Nobody looked,

I guess.

Nobody really cared

As long as I

Wasn’t doing

Nothing.

So I really hope

These poems,

These poems

Filled with mediocre words

Are enough.

 

Or maybe not.

Reviews

[Andy East]

some good pieces are overlooked because some people just don't have the time. Honest piece. Speculative. Never give up I say

[Emily]

I like this poem! Well done!
