    A Writer Is There Own Worst Critic

     The words glide
    Like spilling oil
    Yet bringing less
    Dismal turmoil

    Instead theres life
    That dances about
    Glittering and shimmering
    Save for one shout

    From the writers lips
    Forever sealed
    Through only pen
    Are his thoughts revealed

    His sacred words
    The closest friends
    Trail frayed fibers
    From loose ends

    He tries hard
    But try as he might
    The writer cant make
    His message right

    A tune off-key
    Only noticeable to him
    Yet its enough
    To keep joy dim

    So as the world rejoices
    He howls in frustration
    Tearing out hair
    for his poems duration.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
