The Dark Side
Is it true what they say about poets
that we're dark lonely and depressed
and sometimes days go by
when we don't bother to dress?
Sometimes when I'm working
minutes will slip into hours
dinnertime creeps upon me
I haven't even combed my hair.
There's days I'll write like crazy
and want even go to bed
my eyes will be drooped and hazy
I'll look like dawn of the dead.
My family worries about me
they tell me I need to stop
but my mind is on another poem
will it be good or another flop?
My husband ask what's for dinner
I look at him and think
please go away and leave me alone
before my mind becomes a blank.
So friends I merely wondered
are all of you like that
or is it just me that does strange things
like reading poetry to my cat?
