Oh Brianna you do have a real talent
Please don't think this is lets-pat-the-bald-girl flannel
I love poetry - I really do adore it
and I don't lie
I can write verse quite happily - I have done so for years for people leaving work, birthdays, anniversaries etc
I can do doggerel with barely a wince
and occasionally I write a "polaroid" that captures a moment in very few words and is at least worth keeping (for me) to take me back there
but I can't write poetry
I'm not disciplined enough - that's why I like the spontaneous thread - any flaws can be shrugged off as just a stream of consciousness thing
But you can really write
I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I'm not the dullest either
Take this on board, mm'kay?
