hardly an unkind word
is spoken
in the writers workshop.
everyone is talented
and smart,
creative.
each poem just needing a tweak
here and there,
a new word,
an omission, an addition.
a cleaning up
of spelling
and punctuation.
each story just a stamp
away
from being accepted
in the New Yorker
or Vanity Faire.
everyone means well
doling out the feint praise,
but no one learns
a thing.
