(un)titled tanka II

the words grow quiet
or at least i won’t seek them
as a waste of time
there seems little reason to
no one cares if they do speak

if i stop writing
will the world even notice
or sigh in relief
as i stop polluting it
with odes and refrains of love

  1. If you have never stopped you will never know. Personally I am glad you have been writing. I enjoy reading your poetry although I don’t get some more then the others, and some I don’t get at all, My vocabulary has improved. I thoroughly enjoyed Noches, all the short stories and the super duper long poem. I cannot wait to read more Mike!
