Joyce Hemsley - A Few Words Only

I must write a short poem ~
The cream of the crop.
But where should I start?
Where should I stop?
This is a problem haunting me
This is a hidden difficulty.
Anxiety enters as hours go by,
Only a poet could understand why!
'Short and sweet' is my desire,
Never to ramble into the mire.

Joyce Hemsley
