This is very cool.
"A writer's frustration
comes from the mind
we keep thinking and thinking
until our poem falls out of line"
This is my favorite stanza. It is really funny how in your first serious moment of reading your poem, you realize what you stated in this stanza comes true through the rest of the poem. I think your poem is very random, talking about paper, then sweat, then complaining about writing habits. Knowing you, I think that is what you were going for. So, well done. Bravo! This I would think takes practice. Once you get in the habit of good sense making poetry, it is hard to go back to a beginners point of view. However, there were some low points in your poem. Only the first line of the stanzas were capitalized. I do believe that all lines should be capitalized.
There is no punctuation in this poem. I saw two. You at least need a period at the end. It makes the poem look uncomplete or unfinished. There also should be some commas in there as well.
In the 6th stanza, first line, I think "time after time" should be "dime after dime" they both make sense, but I think "dime" in contrast to "coin" would make more sense than "time".
However, this poem was great! I really enjoyed it.
