Good Time To Write a Poem
For now is the time
to write a poem
Get my feelings on paper
So I can make it through the night
Hope the words turn out right
I have spoken with friends
and before the night ends
The poem will be done
Tomorrow might be fun
But tonight I write
Get my feelings on the page
and no critic, pundit, or sage
can stop the words from flowing
These words will be showing
What my heart has known for a while
That words can make one smile
If they are carefully written
And is you are smitten
by the muse
then you can get to chose
what to put down on you pad
If it's good or if it's bad
If it is happy or sad
It is your poem and I feel
that poetry is for real
Something that lingers long
like a refrain from
a pretty song
So as the night wears on
I done the cloak of the poet
and send out these lines
And believe that whoever they reach
will be inspired to teach
Those words to the people
who are ready for a poem
A late night verse
for better or worse
Flows from the tip of my pen
and then....
