"Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words."   Robert Frost

I HAD A THOUGHT I had a thought today, One of many, One of a thousand more. I started one and then another And another. I had a thought Then it forgot. Then, I had a thought with What to do With all these thoughts. Which one is better than the other? Why this basket full Of wayward streams In search of a sea? Where do I begin? I can’t pick just one. Would make them jealous. Their hands held high Wanting me to choose I am confused. A fight, I do not want. Would lead me astray I wish not to pray “Take me, Take me!” Said one. “Please, Please, I promise not to tease” Said another. I am distraught With all these thoughts, Should I give you one Or should I run? They say to give Is not a sin But if I must I’ll give you this one. The End
