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
