Enough of my poems

Enough of my poems
are rejected attempts
to reach out to you, but the thought
involved
is not sufficiently eloquent
of thought, or it's something
too much like I've meant
before. Like currency spent

Enough of my poems
are rejected songs. They lack
certain structure and form, so
that music does not belong. But maybe
if lucky, some music does. Just
not the kind of music
that makes the kind of song
I like, just because.

Not enough of my poems,
arguably,
are rejected poems.
The standard for that
isn't well-defined, and
poems are always
sneaking through loopholes.
Setting precedents for what can pass
from thought to finished work
in mind. At least,
in mine.
