Pete

dear Pete I'm writing you these lines cause I've been there before
stuck with a line and no more
sometimes I shoot down all of my ideas
as being insuffient my muse corrupt
no one wil relate to this better shut up
and I did for a very long time
my rhymes shattered my confindence gone

insidious need, I have to create
then a voice told me just write
no matter the subject matter
even if you think its kooky
then I found the ones I liked least
were the ones best recieved

they were the poems I bare my soul
honestyly putting myself out there with poetic flre
other times I would be stuck on one line
so I would jot it down and save it
then begin writing again
to find it was the same topic

soon I learned to create Frankensteins
stitching pieces together and it worked
so dearest Pete let's hear it from you
no matter how whack a doodle
this isn't what I had in mind to write today
but you poets are beautiful

I want you to get past your block
and a lot of poets can relate
I think the problem more often that not
is thinking it's not good enough
or not knowing where it will lead

you find yourself overthinking verses
come now open up for Pete's sake
