What This Is (Short) Poem by Nika McGuin

What This Is (Short)



It's happened again
I've fallen down that deep dark well
where nothing goes well, despite well wishes
when you're out of hits, and its nothing but misses
that's, what this is

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Daniel Brick 12 December 2014

This is a remarkably disciplined poem, economic, targeted, unsentimental. And all of those qualities are surprising because the subject matter often leads to overstatement. Here you express yourself with poise and restraint. And that absence of ego in this poem makes it universal.
