Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Keep An Open Mind

Poems are just about everywhere
If you keep an open mind
So many things can prompt a verse
Just seek and ye shall find

Sometimes everyday happenings
Inspire you to sit and write
A robin frantically yanking on a worm
A kid wobbly riding a bike

A construction worker in a hard hat
Two lovers hand in hand
Traffic lights flashing red and green
Sounds of a Dixieland Band

Keep an eye out for things around you
As mundane as they may seem
Look deeper into what's going on
You'll may find a hidden theme

Poems are just about everywhere
If you keep an open mind
