the party has been over for years

the party has been over for years

writing is becoming a woeful ennui

even my words are yawning at me

without respect enough

to close their mouths

Is this about me? :)
If not, I can surely relate to it. I often wonder why I still walk these halls, but someday the outside world may force me to carry out more responsible chores. Till then...I'd say your average 10 to 12 reviews beat my 1 or 2. ha

You're always good to read, J.

I could even picture their jeering, evil little faces, complete with pointy teeth! Just superb poetry, dear Jacob :)

It is not that you don't love what you are doing
it's that you don't want to be deja-vu-ing.
Probably has more to do with the repetition of your favorite themes
than your inability to freshly use and combine words.
For you, poet, the party's just getting started!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

but i'm already drunk on the words....
thank you for your kind comment, Jimmy,

This has tickled me pink. I find it so amusing. Others might find your words woefully sad but knowing you, I can imagine you laughing as you wrote this Jacob.
