I WRIT A POME

I writ a pome that shocked the teachers
Knocked the collars off the preachers
Awoke those sleeping in the bleachers

Then I wrote another one
Made it funny just for fun
It ended ‘fore it was begun

My pencil, such a heavy weight
My lines all crooked, never straight
I cast my lines, as wormless bait

Then someone said: “I liked your poem”
“it took me places I can’t roam”
I said: “thank you” and floated home

Now I have stacks of yellowed pages
I am more prolific than the sages
For poetry inside me rages

So, write you pencil toting fool
A rhyming verse to make them drool
For poetry is but a tool

To glorify a fallen tree
A shipwrecked vessel lost at sea
The hearts of poets now set free
