What poems should remain unwritten? Which
Are too unworthy even for a blog?
Are there such bad ones that, like sticky pitch,
They will defile? Or, is it a slog
To finish them, and therefore they remain?
Is there a standard to which they are held?
Could I write poems that, once read, would stain
The others that I've written, or would geld
The reputation that I might have built
Off of their predecessors? Could they be
So bad that I would be consumed with guilt
And drown myself for excrability?
If not, then why be bothered when I write?
If so, what is the standard? What is right?
