Nick Bagnall Poet Free verse

Not Enough Time

I have a very busy life, there's never any time
to sit and think about, some verse I'm working on

Sitting on the tram as I wend my way,
I have a pencil in my hand, and notebook on my knee

I get some funny looks as I scribble on my pad
One day I swear I'll stand up, and serenade the crowd

In my head I'm all alone, their noise is blocked from me
by silly rhymes and clever times of almost poetry

Thirty five minutes, that's all I get
That's why my poems are short.





For the "How do you do it" competion
