I am a poet…
Julia Rose Hoffman
I am a poet
constantly seeking release
from built up words
that I forgot to write down.
Struggling to knit little rhymes
into elegant verses,
to turn tragedy into
a masterpiece.
Taking in the world around me,
spitting out pretty words
about ugly things.
Yes, I am but a poet,
trapped in a state of suspense,
waiting for that perfect moment,
to inspire a perfect piece.
