Clichéd

My life might be from an Amy Tan novel Clichéd enough to make me grovel I’m no genius like Jing Mei Rhyming couplets is the only way To express myself But - Even as I read what I compose I can’t help but feel morose That what my poems lack Is originality Forget all that though I write what I know Poetry makes me feel – Feel human My life might be from an Amy Tan novel Clichéd enough to make me grovel My writing is not really unique But – Hey – Accept it – This is me.
