Is what I'm writing poetry,
Because I say, straight up
Coitus thee!
Or is my message understood
Only if it's shrouded in
Mystery?
Is it only poetry if I force
The rhyme or
Have degrees?
What makes you
Keep reading?
I want to know.
Everything I read
Makes me more
Critic than writer.
My internal editor
Refuses to take flight
When papyrus meets graphite.
Maybe we're not mean to
Erase and pretend mistakes
Weren't made.
They serve as proof
We're writing
Regardless of prizes or accolades.
