The Poetry Binge
THE POETRY BINGE
she once wrote the serious stuff
legaleze that ended in a dollar
when times got very tough
she forgot she was a scholar
but when the kids were grown
and when she had some time
she set off on her own
to chase a little rhyme
at first she failed it all
the words escaped her, too
but recovered from the fall
and found her point of view.
and when she found her voice
the words jumped on the page
she didn't have a choice
she gave the words a stage.
