Stupid
This is so stupid.
Inexplicable.
Idiotically frustrating.
I love school.
I love poetry.
I love writing.
And yet grinding out this final paper for my Poetry class. One scratchy, sticky, reluctant word at a time. Is. Agony.
WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO DO???

Because you are a writer OF poetry, not about it? Because picking apart something most consider to be inspired (although fine-tuned) seems unnatural? I'd rather listen to the crickets on a warm summer evening than dissect them too!
It feels awfully similar to BIC Resistance, though. (The problem writers have when they avoid Butt in Chair - the necessary body posture for getting real work done)
Thanks for calling me a poet, Anon. It's a little shot of confidence for me. Maybe I'm not quite as clueless and gormless as I fee at the moment. I'll take another stab at it after dinner.
