Poetry is Dead

No reads my poems, poetry is dead. 

Why do I have to keep all my words in my head. 
Why no one listen, why no one read?
Why do I have to live with a hungry soul with nothing to feed. 

Why do I have to write like I'm writing spells,
Why do I have to silence my words against my will. 

My muses miss writing long and metaphorical sonnets. 
But life's grabs so tightly to that pink bonnet. 

A child... A child of pink and glamour... 
A bookworm of old English and grammar.

But no one, 
No one hears the sirens when they sing. 
It's all about this nomad of theirs and a dated dried ink.
