why can i write nothing but doggeral?
my desires are noble and notable
but all i can say in the poetry way
is less than a rabbled crowd's cry.
a poem: a collection of words,
nothing more; yet somehow
the right writing and rhyming
and timing eludes me;
i'll stay most assuredly
in anonymous obscurity
for want of selection and surety.

LOL! Funny thing, that! I just tried my hand at poetry again, for the first time in several years. It came out better than I expected, but I don't really have a true facility.
