Keep An Open Mind
Poems are just about everywhere
If you keep an open mind
So many things can prompt a verse
Just seek and ye shall find
Sometimes everyday happenings
Inspire you to sit and write
A robin frantically yanking on a worm
A kid wobbly riding a bike
A construction worker in a hard hat
Two lovers hand in hand
Traffic lights flashing red and green
Sounds of a Dixieland Band
Keep an eye out for things around you
As mundane as they may seem
Look deeper into what's going on
You'll may find a hidden theme
Poems are just about everywhere
If you keep an open mind
