Romantic comedy
Such is the richness of information technology these days that I just ’stumbled upon’ something on my computer, not 3 months old, written in my own hand, yet still somehow new to me! Time flies! Some gibberish I wrote about SpaceFairy.
And I had vowed, more-or-less, not to write poems about women anymore, because they are rarely – no, never – worth that level of praise. O the folly of man… yet there is still something awfully alluring about romance, not to mention sentimentality, isn’t there?
This all seems so strange now, but here’s a poem I wrote exactly a month ago. A lot of water under the bridge since then, but as Colum Mc Cann said, “If you stand in the same river for too long, even the banks will trickle past you”.
I am pretty sure that the market for poetry these days is infinitesimally small, and am even surer that that market is wholly dominated by failed and fanstastically pathetic poets.
All of which only matters if you are a poet who cares about the ‘market’, in which case I daresay you aren’t a poet at all.
For my part, I continue to write and have uploaded two more here at the bottom of the page. As yet these are still quite old, but I do hope that I will be soon in ‘real time’, but not yet.
