All Things Can Tempt Me
All Things Can Tempt Me
(title of a poem from William Butler Yeats & inspiration for line one of my poem)
All things can tempt me from writing I do.
I sit down; my dog on the rug starts to poo!
Well, that was not tempting, and yet I must say
from poetry it sure drew me away!
I sit down again, but what greets my ear?
The ice cream van’s musical chiming I hear!
I sit down this time - ice cream on my chin.
But now it’s a mood for popcorn I’m in!
That would go great with this show I must see.
My pen rolls away; I’ll watch my TV!
