A rather exaggerated account of being frustrated with an uncooperative poem.
**********************************
Obstinate words! refusing to rhyme,
Simply becoming a waste of my time.
Crumple the paper, drop the pen.
Don't even want to SEE that line again!
Why do I bother? The more I insist,
The more these stubborn syllables resist!
I'm no poet, why even try?
One more failed idea...I'll start to cry!
I need a breather; now my head hurts.
I'm taking a break from these heartless words!
I'll try again later, but for now I believe
That poetry hates me, and-- GAH!
I need a word that rhymes with believe!
*sigh*
