N Between Unrelenting Standards & A Hard Place

I’m always so hard on myself

Whenever I’m N my slow periods

& I feel like I should be writing

More – even if I’m already doing

At least one a day – but I’m not

Happy with those ’cause they are

Never to my unrelenting standards

Then I get a burst of Inspiration

And I’ll knock out a dozen poems

N a day or 2 – when looking back

With my steady pace of at least

1 a day plus the little flurries

I realize I’ve written 50 poems

Over the past 2 weeks and during

The time I thought I was wasting

Whenever I was floundering while

Swimming N Circles, so yeah I would

Say I Am being a bit too hard on myself
