I Don'T Know Why I Should Try To Write A Poem Now Poem by Shalom Freedman

I Don'T Know Why I Should Try To Write A Poem Now



I don't know why
I should try to write
A poem now-
There will be other times
When the Metaphors
I ordinarily do not have
Flow not easily in me
Like water lava
Like blood- thinned by aspirin-

All I have to do is
Keep reading enough poetry of others
And exotic metaphors
Will come to me
As if I were another person's voice
And nothing in myself
Real as my own.
