I Will Write the Funniest Poem

I will write the funniest poem of all time. Sorry. It has already been done. I will write the most romantical poem of all time. Ditto. I will write the craziest poem of all time. Have you ever heard of Shel Silverstein? I will write the rhyme-iest poem of all time. Dr. Seuss? I will write what I know. And it will not have to be an “ist” at all. It will not have to be the most, the funniest, the sorriest, the saddest, the sweetest. It can just be what it is. And it does not have to become famous. It does not have to be understood. It does not have to be appreciated. But it will have to be my own. Because it has to be the poem That only I can write. I sit and stare at the Paper, overwhelmed. Excited, expectant, Waiting for her birth. Wondering where she will take me. I pick up the pen and begin. Knowing nothing about what is about to happen.
