...this poem:
There once was a boy named E.
Texas-born and -raised was he. (are those hyphens right?)
Poetry wasn't his forte,
Despite his being gay,
As you can plainly see.
(Limerick??)

I feel like the last line is a syllable or two short?...

Oh my gosh! You just made me laugh right out loud. I like it, I really really do!
I don't know if it fits the limerick form, but it certainly has the heart and soul of a limerick!

You're definitely not a lyricist. Here's my take:
There once was a boy Texas-raised,
Whose gay life was not roundly praised,
For down in that State
There's still quite a wait
For bigots to stop acting crazed.

I like it! I can't write poetry. I had to write poems for one of my writing classes in college and it sucked because I always felt inadequate writing them.
I wouldn't worry about that last line, I think it goes well with the others. Thanks for sharing with us. :)

It's better than a lot of poems on here.

Is the ( ) part of the text? I think it's funnier that way. It is poetic. Not bad.
