Happy For But A Day? Poem by Terence George Craddock

Happy For But A Day?



she walked into room lounge bar
she said proclaimed silent him to be
a thinker without wondering what thinker could see?

she said he would be happy to produce one poem a year
really would he be happy to produce a hundred a month?
a dozen two dozen a day even then happy for but a day?

there is an artistic state of mind
which must create create create
or life will grate grate grate?

" there is an artistic state of mind..." I agree, the state of mind we're in can either make us create an extensive amount of poems or block us. Nice penning.

I like, straightaway, the lounge bar setting, and the two characters in dialogue, like reported speech. It makes me ask the question, 'How many poems should I write a week? A month? A year? '
