I Can't Write.
It seems that Im not as well as I may believe.

Garbled thoughts crowd in my head,
too many items to create.
It's just I never meet the bar
to get a five-star rate.

I don't know how to rhyme my words,
Nor how to make my stanzas flow.
Syllable count's always a beat off,
Which seems quite far from pro.

Most times I end up rambling,
and using words to fill up space.
That way, my works seem much longer,
While still holding a steady pace.

I dont use punctuation good,
and sometimes I mispeall a word.
I may add lines that mean nothing,
and think toesocks are absurd.

I feel three stanzas means too short,
while eight is obviously stretched.
And more often than not, I do
rhyme words that seem far fetched.

Then I use a sudden ending,
One abrupt that randomly stops.
It tends to leave readers hanging
