I Wrote This Poem For You

Today is National Poetry Day So I really must write a Poem “Oh not again” I hear you say But it’s mandatory on this special day At 6.15 the sky still black I wish the sunshine would come back But sunrise won’t be seen today Until the mist has cleared away So until then I’ll write my poem To celebrate National Poetry Day The blue sky getting lighter As the day is getting brighter Such adventures to explore As I exit through my door There is so much I can do As new ventures I pursue A trip to a Gallery always a thrill Viewing Constable’s paintings one more time I adore his Chain Pier and his Blatchington Mill His Elm Tree astounding His Seascapes divine Whatever I do and the sights I may see They will always inspire me to write poetry To share the feelings that hide deep inside If I left them unused they may wither and die Although it’s not one of my best I had to get it off my chest To release my inner poet they say Sit down and write a poem a day So on this most prestigious day I share my thoughts with you For today is National Poetry Day And I wrote this poem So please review Written on 4th October 2018 - National Poetry Day Contest Brian's Choice 4 Sponsor Brian Strand HONORABLE MENTION
