I don't usually write at midnight, but sometimes I get an idea at three in the morning.

Day Twenty Seven: The Trouble is ________ Poem


"The Trouble Is"

The trouble is, I want to be prolific.
But my poetic mind is inclined to ignore inspiration.

I teach writing and preach creativity while I drift through the desert of my own displaced ingenuity.


Wretchedly endeavoring to mold moments of creation into a vocation,
how does one truly know it:
the day one finally becomes a poet?
