“Poetry is never easy.” How true. Amy D. wrote her poem about the process of creating one. “Try to/remember and keep straight in your cluttered head” is one of her suggestions. She also offers some useful tips, like, “Get an idea and hold on tight to it/because soon enough you are going to be/distracted.” She also mentions overused subjects in poetry like “Butterflies on pretty flowers/sunsets/or/Love.” Seriously, how common are poems like this?
The fuzzy pink butterfly,
It sings its song of joy.
I smile as it soars!
It leaves me thinking, Really, REALLY? Poetry is difficult to write because you want to make it unique and good. And you want to turn it in on time! “Poetry Is Never Easy” is a poem that I agree with. Poetry is never easy!
