You burned my poem

Joe Aldworth 1960 (CHICAGO)

Narrative
I don't really like sitting typing
A necessary evil
Shaping the words to the right sequence
Putting thoughts down just to make sense

There are a few poems out there
Thrown into cyberspace
That I'll never get back again
That have lost the race

I don't want to sit here long
Sitting on the pot,
I'll see if I can put this one up
What has it forgot

About this poem

I'm about to write a poem here. I have confidence in mmy abilities, I was trained for this. But I've been here typing for hours now, But none can read my efforts Cause, then, when the poem was done It went to cyberspace
