Poetry

A Simple Poem
by Jeffrey Lewis


When poems appear simple and contrived,
They seldom mirror ample sweat deprived.
They succumb to near awful tales derived,
I know them and sneer at the drool revived.

Yet no pioneer found a jewel and thrived,
without growing anguish to find their drive.
Sift thoroughly the stitch from false wounds I’ve
fully shown. Nearer to heart distress survives.
