"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
