"jeannie" poems - Hello Poetry

for Jeannie Kristufek Hawrysz who once quoted me Shakespeare - *"Of all the words in the universe, when stated thrice, only one royal above all gleams best, an uncoded mathematical tripartite repetitive stating: love love love this."* ---------------------------- third attempt and just not happening then recall a Ben Folds hand-me-down heard on Tuesday, passed onto me by Sara B. about writer’s block “Kick the editor out of the room” the best don’t even flow, they fall out of ya, rough and tumbling, screaming did ya get that, are ya keeping up, you can be the self-editing-I need-perfection roadblock or the delivery guy, the one with the towel and the scissors, who brings ya a clean new baby, and/or a veggie pizza, which ya gonna pick? another nougat nugget: when you’re stuck, write about the block, what’s sticking you; one would have thought some one thousand five hundred poems later, this one would have been midwifed a long, long time ago, but at 4:32am, it’s all I got rather than throw false news confetti on myself from the rafters that don’t exist in a citified apartment, I’ll reward myself with some rock n’ pop, a revisitation to the scene of the crime, and listen quiet like and maybe leak back to prone sleep, in hopes that the rest of the gang, hoping the words to a poem-in-transit, “confetti is just tomorrow’s garbage” gets off at my dreamy new subway stop should the wordy birdies shotgun come sneaking in thru the correct ear i.e. not the sunken pillow one, so I have half a fat chance of recalling its dimensions in an hour, when I wake up-officially, fat chance later, like 4:56am https://hellopoetry.com/poem/2471979/confetti-is-just-tomorrows-garbage/

Writer’s Block: “Kick the editor out of the room”
