Ben Goldin

Confusion

Creative writing, what does it mean?
Is it all just a big complex machine?
I'm confused.

I guess I gotta write a poem
Well, hmm, wait, so umm...
I'm confused.

My pad and my paper, my blue gripped pen
I stare blankly, as I casually write Ben.
I'm confused.

I gotta be witty, I gotta be clever
As I embark, through my writing endeavor
I'm confused.

How do I end it, do I turn on a dime?
Or do I pull off, that incredible rhyme.
I'm confused.

I think I got it, I think I'm done
I finally wrote, line number one.
I'm still confused.
