Consider this an apology for my pathetic attempt at writing serious poetry. It's strictly a joke - I'm not really quitting.

Quitting dots

-------------------------------------------

I hate writing poems,
It drives me insane
Finding the rhymes
Crucifies my poor brain
Syllables, diction
These things that I dread
Making it flow
Drives me out of my head
I’ve thought it over
And made my decision
I’ll never write again-
Not even a revision!
No more poetry blocks
To make my blood boil
I’m through with it now,
All the pain and toil
Now people must know!
Ah, how shall that I show them?
Oh- here’s an idea!
I’ll just write a poem!

  I just don't "get" people who worry about rhyme. I actually find it more artful not to rhyme (I've read too many godawful rhymed suicide and cutting poems). I suppose that in humorous poems, it's ok, but I can't be arsed. It also won't help you stand out in this rhyme-infested place. Few lit magazines publish rhymed work. Your hyphens should be dashes. I found the ending a little trite, to be honest. You'd better make it a free verse poem, so that you don't drive yourself mad.

  I can actually hear this as an English Four students required work! lol. Nice sense of humor. I hope you keep writting and that you continue to make us laugh, cry think or any other emotion you choose to dictate

  I actually feel like this alot of the time, especially when I write some thing that I think is perfect, you know it comes out just how you want it. and then your silly teacher has to find ways of destroying it. I love the fact that you can sum up the stress of writing a poem.

  Funny...funny...stuff. I like it. I wonder how often we poets consider quitting? Maybe too much, maybe not enough.

Good job.

  being an avid rhyme writer myself i often feel this way, but you put into words what i only think about- fearing to write it would take it away. i like the scheme and flow, the theme is superb, the rythm is daunting. im putting this in my favorites for i always hold a special place in my heart for other avid wordsmiths who have the impossible talent of rhyming well.

  this is a simple writing angst poem. I am quite sure many writers feel that way on on some days. I can just see you at the computer cursing up a storm, then eating a package of Oreo"s with milk,lol

keep writing and I will keep reading

  Writing is hard
And it wears on the soul.
It makes us all crazy,
And it makes me feel old.
But I am glad there are others
Who will take up the torch.
So I can sit quietly
And write on my porch.

So good to see a poem with a sense of humor. Thanks for giving my morning a smile.

  Loved the poem. It's going in my fav's to re-read every time I feel like that. It's a great write, and very funny. Good expression of what a lot of writers/poets go through more often than they want to. It really helped cheer me up, and even inspired me a little towards writing some funny and amusing poems. Great Job!
