I get to that point every day!

Well earned :)

But I love your poem! Poetry is a harsh mistress and you've made that point with a light touch and great humor. Maybe one change would be to have the narrator address poetry across the poem and not just just the parting starting from--

Dress for a funeral, Poetry!

Just my opinion but I think it would make the poem even stronger. Great read and thanks for the smile and nod of agreement your poem gave me.

This poem came out from me taking a long, long look at my poems and wondering, why do I keep doing this? I keep trying to say something and missing the mark! But it's a compulsion - I'm an addict and can't stop.

Although I'm sure many are begging, "Please! Do stop!" *grins*

Glad to see there are other addicts like me! And thank you Harry for the shout-out in the forum. :)

An example was shown to me by Billy Collins I believe is the last name in some thread on the forum. Angie should know the one I'm talking about. yours could share the same page (disclaimer) gotta go
