Worry sets in when
I've no contribution
not already conceived
into sweeter fruition
by someone more clever
succinct and brunette
the picture of an artist
in suffering and debt
Hell, even when musing
on futility
the words lumber lacking
all fluidity
Meters much marked
Rhymes relentlessly schemed
Capering for couplets
as yet still undreamed
Why bother? I wonder
Why scribble along
and much melancholy
for one hopeful song?
Doubts in ascendance,
my pen digs the earth
to China if need be
and the end of poem's worth.
