A Wanna Be Writer’s Lament

I wonder why I can’t write

A work to inspire acclaim!

It isn’t that I’m not that bright,

Or have no talent to my name.

With creativity I’m more than blessed.

Wisdom floods right out my ears.

Yet my writing never quite impressed.

My lack of fame brings me to tears.

But I finally realised what is wrong;

The final answer to my wish;

The temptations of wine, women and song

I’ve too long given a miss.

 

wine-women-song

 

Think of Byron. Keats and Shelley,

Not to forget the Bard of Avon.

Oh vices, they had aplenty,

Though their public faces were graven.

And so to be a wealthy author,

I must turn my hand to sin. 

To debauched dens I’ll sally forth, or

Just throw my writing in the bin.

    I Guess so, to be a Good writer one must live and have vices, 😉

      Unfortunately my judgmental children won’t let me. So silly will continue. 🙂

        Well, it’s true. We always have other people around to care about us: children, wife, girlfriend, brothers and sisters, plus a few relatives; so it makes one always dependant… unless you’re a lonely soul.

    I’d rather be surrounded by love, so I guess deep poetry will continue to elude my happy soul.

        They’re all good nicknames (IMO), but I learned spectrumites a few days ago.

      It’s my writing, the top photo & the girl on the bar aren’t mine, but that’s my writing desk & pen & my husband’s photo of my dog & I. Thank you so much!

    I think you just have to keep writing like digging for gold or oil. One day you may strike.

    I love your poem, so I’d say you have lots of talent, and I’m not sure you need to bother with cultivating any vices! Lol Just keep writing. 🙂
