“Knackless,” for SOCS Oct 19, 2024

Knackless

Whether you have talent is a subject that is moot.
So far you’ve written nothing that has won you much repute.
All the latent talent that you’ve meant to expose
has turned out to be nothing  but the emperor’s new clothes.

Your instruction manuals have ended up intractable,
and all the plays you’ve written have ended up unactable.
All your readers joke that instead of a word user
you’ve proven repeatedly that you’re a word abuser.

 

The SOCS prompt is “Starts with Kn”

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

      I would love to have you stay here. I will have 4 guests here but one couple is leaving on the 8th so we can figure something out. Do you mind sharing a bed? Nora, I have been thinking about you so much lately and wondering where you are and what you are doing. I would love to see you. Will you have access to a car while you are here? J
