It's Time To Write a Poem

It's time to write a poem What time, you ask, is that It's time when the world moves you Time to put on your poetry hat It could be a spectacular sunset Or a pale moon astride the sky Perhaps it's the vastness of the ocean Or a bald eagle preparing to fly... It's time to write a poem Whatever time might that be? It's time when you feel an emotion So strongly the world just has to see You may be sitting on top of the world The King of the Castle, so to speak Or drowning in pools of despair Convinced that all hope has gone bleak... It's time to write a poem Whatever can occasion that? It's time when you experience an event You rate as purely Heaven-sent Perhaps it's a concert or a great play Or even a stirring speech It might even be brave surfers You saw catch a wave to the beach... Yes, it's time to write a poem What's that? -- you don't know how Just lift your pen and tell your Muse The time for my poem is now
