This was a pretty interesting read. I don’t think I’m the hero you’re looking for by any stretch of the imagination but I definitely believe I’m trying to write some thing that the average person would enjoy.
I’ve written songs, but I haven’t written poetry in decades. I started back up here recently when I discovered this place.
I’m driving to write at least one poem a day. I write them in the app so they’re more like drafts.
I don’t really care if they suck because like you said, no one really gives a shit.
Anyway, I wrote this phone today
I was actually thinking of your🙄 poem A Hanging when I wrote it
