Triskaidekapoetry

I wish I had more drama
The smallest of ados
To stop my poems from turning trite

I wish I had more trauma
The slightest jam would do
I'd see things in a different light

I wish I had bad karma
A quick hard knock or two
Then surely I'd have lines to write

Alas I have no trials of late
That might deserve a poet's pen
But when the skies turn black with fate
Will I still want it then?
