I decided to have a bit of fun writing a poem for a poetry contest.
Hmm, a poem that is new
A poem that is new
Can't I use an old one here?
I've so much still to do!
Ok, I'll play, I'll sit and wait
Until the feeling starts
When words will line up at my gate
To jump into my heart
They'll swirl around and do their best
No regard for what I'm feeling
They dance, they tease and taunt and test
I'm left with my mind reeling
What once was calm and peace, tranquil
Now a crazy, bubbling soup
From where I extract, precise, thoughtful
Words from this cranial goop
They dance in their melodic play
Like children, sweetly grinning
With something that they have to say
Some story they are spinning
Until they stop, and stand in line
And know that they've been heard
I'll write so they can sing their song
Sweet, naughty, little words
