Sonnet
Colin Herd tagged Text p.s. i realised i didn’t answer your question, what follows is my attempt
it’s difficult though because i’ve never been sure just how serious all of this is
i mean you spoke of substances, and poetry, and mothers…?
i can get my head around the first two, and the last two, but all three
are like a venn diagram that is stubbly and smells of beer.
when i first decided i wanted to be a poet
(it wasn’t long ago/ not as long as you’d think)
i thought, if only i can be a poet maybe i won’t need
mothers, and substances, and stances
but when i was shrieked at ‘you don’t want to be a
poet; you’re just too lazy to get on T.V.!!’ i thought
about it a lot because it was partly true and
partly true and partly true and partly true and partly true
but i like sonnets and so, it seems, do you.
