Bad poets are people too!

Please excuse me if I ignore you for a while,
I am not being impolite,
But please indulge me, please understand,
I have a poem to write.

Poems don’t get written easily,
One has to go through an obstacle course
Of rhythm, rhyme, and simile.
And trying to fit the words in a meter by sheer brute force.

Ideas, imagery are alien to me,
One has to think so hard!
I get my inspiration from Rhymezone,
And the verses from a Hallmark card

Please excuse me for a while,
I am almost done with my pome.
If they don’t like it in Writer's Cafe,
Why, there is always ‘Poetry.com’!
