I've forgotten how to write.

I've forgotten how to write.
I don't remember how a poem is crafted.
Does it have to rhyme?
How does the punctuation work?
What the hell are stanzas for?
If I can't tell you what I mean
How am I supposed to show you?
Would it help if I
Broke up the lines,
Guided you through
Word by word letter by letter?
Surely that seems to be
A tiny, itty bit better?
(Bad rhymes? Okay, I'll fix it later.)
Excessive adjectives can be thrown out.
But tell me,
How can I begin to describe without
Adjectives?
Every line keeps getting
Scribbled out.
No good, no good, no good.
See?
I've forgotten how to write.
