I Was Going To Write a Poem

I was going to write a poem
And nothing came to mind
So I started scanning the computer
To see what I could find

But it didn't seem right really
Not composing like I usually do
It felt like I was cheating
Somthing I'd never do

Well I gave it a go
Writing juices did flow
Was really pleased and then
My computer froze and died
So I'd lost it all again

So I lost my poem
And try as I might
Couldn't remember
All I did write

So yet again
I search in vain
My mind gone blank
It's such a pain

So deciding to gig 
one of my poems about
Change spring 
into autumn
That sort of thing

Well I think I've succeded
The next poem I write
Maybe you will all tell me
If it turned out alright.?

Hi Jacque! If I'm not mistaken this is the first poems of yours that I've read. The harder one tries to write the harder it becomes to do so. Do not run after your muse...let her run after you:) // Now I'll have to read your next poem....// paul
