Ultimate poem

Ultimate poem

It's the barbie dolls again,
Pulling jean tops indecently low
Curving towards me
All smiles and signatures
And mine
For the taking

Successful poetry is
A curse too you know
The adulation, the kisses
The "write me?"
Yet another Wembly Arena reading
And the party after.

I'm a poet I tell them.
Get actors
I write
They read
At 46 this is too much
Lucky old T S Eliot

That's what I say.
