Erasing

My life is spent tracing these rhymes I'm embracing;
But all this erasing makes holes in my style!
turned phrases conducive are likewise elusive;
A day's work inclusive? A laughable pile!
Sustained concentration yields deactivation;
(While sweet inspiration keeps arms-lengths away!)
but friends keep inviting my sing-songy writing;
And while they're inciting, I'm fast turning gray!
I've spared them the ills, while my wastebasket fills;
to weave them a story without all the swill.
In hope that it greets them, compels or entreats them
To sample what rose from the thoughts I distill.
If you can abide my tongue being tied;
my brain soundly fried, and these rhythemless ears;
And read poems misleading; without interceding;
The I'll try believing you likes what you hears!
And leave you the neatness;
The tympanic sweetness;
In compact completeness;
Without all the smears!
