Distracted

Distracted

done

While attempting

Poetry

at my desk one day,

fighting off the usual

bears, wolves

and other dangerous

beasts of the Internet

between

the Muse and me;

from

the teeth of twitter,

a ferociously distracting

animal,

there leapt out

Billy Collins, Poet,

speaking of Poetry.

 

Losing myself

in his

captivating flow of words

I ended

Poetically satisfied,

but also

Poetically wishing

I had not been

ambushed by

dingoes of distraction,

and had instead

written a

Poem.

  1. Which I believe Kevin you have just done. Good luck for the 24th March as you take to the high seas to preach the poetic gospel to the Welsh population, no doubt but you will leave your mark.
    Chris.
