By Poet's Blood

Somewhere recently as I slept,

A skeeter to my room had crept—

And that’s the story

Behind the story

That by poet’s blood I was

Infected.

Now all that I think I lack

Is for a particle of talent

By one good Samaritan gallant

To be fixedly and capably

Injected.

A big grin

I think you might be cheered or scared by the grins you induce, if I recorded and sent them to you. If that skeeter happens to infect you with a cure for writers block, don't squash it, catch it and send it, or perhaps a few drops of your own. cheers, Jess

the

humility and humor you always display in your poems shines more clearly here than i've yet seen from you. and if i'm interested enough to read it in depth (as i did), i highly doubt that you lack this "particle of talent" you make reference to. good job!
