Do you really want me to write a poem as most know I'm not very good (comment)?

Do you really want me to write a poem as most know I'm not very good?

I suppose I could do one about the people in the local neighbourhood,

Maybe I could create a rhyming piece that would amuse you one and all,

But it might turn out rather awkward-looking as my timing is fairly dismal.

I do like to criticize poetry written by other people who think they can write,

And though I'm rather clever about it, not many agree with my insight.

I do give good comments but sometimes a poem is not to my liking or taste,

It seems that people spend too much effort on works that is a time of waste.

Let me see, how should I start? Do I begin with a question or a simple line?

Perhaps I could just write along a bit and all will turn out fine.

I like to write about inanimate objects rather than romance or hellish things,

It is easier to define a landscape than to explain my emotional upbringings.

    This is exactly as it needs to be to suit your purpose, and what you said in that last line is very, very true. I have learned a LOT about poetry, other people, and myself here; But I still don't know iambic pentameter from my left (metered) foot.
