Amusething
I have to write a poem,
I’ve been away too long,
my muse must have forgotten how to play.
So I sit here thinking,
about what I should write,
until this night time turns into the day.
Shall I make it silly
or shall I make it nice,
a horror story straight from deepest hell?
Should I tell of angels
just waiting with their harps,
whilst the reaper is at large to ring death’s bell?
Oh please, my muse come join me,
I’m feeling so alone,
what can a wordless poet do for fun.
I’d better get a cushion
to soften up this chair
for sitting writing nothing hurts my bum.
But now the sun is rising
to wash away the night
and dawn prepares to blossom into day.
I know it’s time to ponder
if my sanity’s quite right
as I snap my pen and throw my pad away.
