What kind of writer am I? Or, more to the point,
am I a writer at all?
I manage to knock out a few limericks from time to time
but I wonder if that’s really writing----
children in school write limericks.
I must admit that I’m most comfortable
writing poetry.
Prose escapes me, and serious prose
escapes me altogether.
There was a time when fiction beckoned.
The first chapter, although short, seemed to flow.
The second chapter, just barely begun,
is still waiting for me to glance its way.
Memoirs were manageable because I knew the plot
ahead of time....and clichés were very helpful.
There is a notebook that holds most, I think,
of what I’ve written. Perhaps it can show
what kind of a writer I am, or more to the point,
if I’m a writer at all.
