There's a tremendous amount of really good poetry being written at the moment, if you just take the trouble to look for it. This, completely at random, from the following location. It's by someone called Vincent Spada - I'd never heard of him before - nice effort - though I think my picture is a little more upbeat than the poem.
There's little to say
There's always little to say
Things aren't what you expect
It's never a pot of gold,
or ten good turns,
or anything. Not anything
No gusts of perfect wind
No moonlight walks
Forget it. Keep dreaming
This isn't a lie
This is the truth
There's just nothing to say
It's only the usual
in heavy doses
If that's bad, well, too bad
It's nothing
The same thing, right there
See it, and know it, for sure
A junk of a car,
a supermarket dying,
and pigeons in the parking lot
That's all
Maybe almost invisible
But either way, it doesn't matter
