Writing Poetry Can Be So Hard. Poem by Michael Gale

Writing Poetry can at times, be hard...
Nobody said, 'it was easy being a Bard.

The English language does not spell as it sounds...
There are many obstacles, to navigate, with it's many outer bounds.

Silent esses, with, p-esses, to boot....
Some times, i just don't give a damn, or even a hoot.

Words alike...
Like damn and dam.
Leaves me at times-
Lost, i am.

A dictionary, i am, armed real well....
A spell checker en route, enables me to spell, real swell.

In the old days, you'd require a pad and pencil and an eraser...
A later on, you'd need a small plastic bottle of liquid paper.

Now a days, you need, way, too much stuff...
This in turn, makes me riled and want to just get up and leave in an angered huff.
