A Really Good Poem

Love love love

Blah blah blah

Metaphor metaphor metaphor

Abstract concepts

Deep words

Philosophy

Psychology

What is means to be human

Blah blah blah

The same words

that have always been spoken

The same poetry

that's always been written

Nothing new

Recycled lines

Shakespeare wrote everything

He left nothing

for the rest of us

A writer,

complaining

about having nothing to write about,

is also,

unoriginal.

‘This guy is probably

not a good writer.’

That’s what they’ll say.

I’ll smile at them

and nod my head in agreement.

-C.H.
