Shaun Cronick Poems

Writers can all kid themselves
A weary poem easily written.
Weary as in self defeating,
Twice shy and once bitten.
...

You seek no thanks,
Or financial gain.
You help others,
Those in pain.
...

I have drunk vodka with Stalin,
To save what I cherish the most.
My life and those all around me,
Not to become a lost gulag ghost.
...

I created a world of nothing,
To escape this plane of reality.
Leaving all firm substance behind,
Of its problems I'm finally free.
...

I think I'll write a bad poem tonight,
I guess there's no change there then.
What I seek to discover is a good idea,
Then write it wretchedly with my pen.
...

Holiday time to some people,
Means a good long rest.
For others it means a chance,
To do what they like best.
...

A poet won't beg,
A poet won't crawl.
And a poet will never,
Choose to think small.
...

If poems are love,
And they have voice.
And are eternally speaking,
You are that poem,
...
