I HAVE WRITTEN TOO MANY POEMS
I have written too many poems
No one will pay attention to any of them
I have demanded too much of others
And I will get nothing for it
I have been too indulgent of my own need to write
And am punished by being unread
I have written too much
And not taken enough care with each work
I am punished by being unread
And I was not and never will be good enough
Even if I wrote a few small poems only.

I would like to translate this poem
yet there's strength in your admission, Shalom. Write a poem in which you tell us some of your best titles and perhaps why they are.
