Untitled, thank god.

I can't think of a title,
how does one come up with that?
Sum it up in just about
2 words and a tip-o-the-hat?

My poems are complex, you see.
2 words cannot explain,
The scorching fires of my heart
or feelings of a gentle rain.

Titles, what a stupid word,
for such a stupid thing,
what can tell the story in
2 words, without a "DING"?

Trust me, I try, I try and try,
but Titles! What a doozy!
I guess i'm a fair writer but
Titles give me the whoozies.

Try, in just about two words,
to sum up someones life.
Try to capture pain and joy,
Impossible, am I not right?

So why do we have titles?
Is this some sort of law?
Titles are the too-condensed
versions of your poem, raw.

I am 13, and I have scars, but I'm still standing and these are the stories I tell.

The Hard Part

The hardest part of writing poetry Is not making sure it all rhymes. It's not even checking your spelling, Nor being topical with the times.

Writer's Block

. Written words upon the page . My mind, a drain of ink . Seeing every sentence I chew up . I spit back down the sink . Every thought erodes the silence .

I'm Stuck

Ok so I have writers block,. I cannot shift this feeling,. I look down at my paper,. My subconscious is reeling,. I know what I want to say,. But exactly how do I say it,. The plot is in my head,.

The Block

I've been sitting here an hour and the words won't come, Looking hard for inspiration, getting nothing done, So I grab a cup of tea thinking "soon man, soon", But my mind's still a blank and I start...

The Time

I wish I had the time. To write a perfect rhyme. Make a rhyme that's mine. Oh, I wish I had the time. I wish I had the hours. To write a verse with power. Make a verse that towers.

Lost In A Sea Of Words

Writing is easy. Sometimes. You just sit down and let the words drip out of your mouth onto the paper (or computer). Sometimes they flow fast. Other times they slop out slowly.

I don't know what to write next for crazy kid, so I read through all of the different parts and I've decided that the last one will be good enough to be the end!.
