i can't write a poem

excuses why i can't write a poem

I can’t write a poem

I have a paper and a pen       

I tried to write now and again

I couldn’t, I’m not a wise man

That’s why from writing I abstain

 

I don’t know what to write about

Love poems, I cannot write

That’s a fact beyond any doubt

I never loved at first sight 

 

Maybe I should write bedtime stories

About the world’s greatest adventures

I like bedtime stories, it's one of my hobbies

Yeah…… I know, I’m one of those creatures.

They said that if there's a will, there's a way, but I know that this isn't often the case. I remember times when I definitely want to write something but no matter how I squeeze my creative juices, nothing comes out...and I always look at my blank paper in despair thinking, "Have I become an idiot for not being able to write something at all?"

There's a typo in the third line. It should be "man" instead of "men" and I think you can omit the comma in the fourth line. Also, I feel like this should be longer. You can further name other excuses and elaborate them. And I'm not sure about the last stanza. The sudden transition of thought does not add to the coherence of the piece. It's somewhat off. Moreover, it should be "it's one of my hobbies" and you can omit the comma in the last line. You can either do that or this, "Yeah, I know...I'm one of those creatures."

Thank you so much for sharing this! I can completely relate to this, there are so many moments where I feel like I can't write anything particularly good due to lack of experience in many aspects.
