C. A. Burkett Poet Rhyme

Oh Word Where Are You

Oh word where are you? I need you to complete
This poem that I wrote, I can not miss a beat

You word, yes you, who else did you think
I need you here now word to make my poetry click

I think for right now I want just one cue
Yes I think, oh I think, it has to be you

I’ve waited too long now, just give me a break
And come to me darling, don’t wait one more wink

How can I convince you of your importance to me
The things we can accomplish, oh how wonderful it will be

Oh word don’t you know you’re the best one around
I need you, yes you dear, please let you be found

You know poetess I am reluctant 
For I must not sound redundant 

Or seen as petty in any way or size
I must be presented as a magnificent prize

For my worth is beyond what most can imagine
I wish to invoke feelings of love and great passion 

This time word you may be hooked up in a song
Now how, just how, could that ever be wrong

You definitely don’t belong in a silly little note
You deserve to be set up in a beautiful poem

Word put on your smile and come walk with me a mile 
And then we will find you the most amazing word pile

I promise you will sound important 
Your worth will truly show by morning 

Our readers will always understand 
That you are meant to be shown as grand

For I will dress you up in lovely lace
And settle you in the perfect place

It will be the most glorious space
One you will never want replaced

Oh word where are you, give me your word, word
I sincerely need you, you have my word, word

Gershon Wolf January 24, 2021 at 3:34 PM Enjoyed you muse on 'that word.' Happens to me all the time.... Usually I walk away for a while, and then it's almost always there for me somehow. Good luck with that word, C.A! Cheers, Gershon C. A. Burkett January 24, 2021 at 9:25 PM ;)
