I promised I wouldn't write any more poetry - poem

A Promise
I made a promise to myself I wouldn’t write any more poetry
I made a promise I wouldn’t write about poetry
I’ve failed on both counts
and yet the world keeps turning

@thebigdelay Poetry as an art has always been a powerful way of channeling our emotions; joy, sadness, love, emptiness, wishes, optimism, losses and the likes... It's a delightful pleasure to see you write about your burning emotional conflicts.. I'm looking forward to reading more of you.

why would you not want to write poetry again?

[thebigdelay]

The poem expresses the tension between wanting to engage with poetry and giving up on it as a lost cause. Sometimes I feel like I have nothing to say and there's no point writing, at other times I feel inspired to commit my ideas to paper. I wanted to write a poem that reflected that :)

Oh, nice!
