Rambling Tirade

This is a moment A moment I took To write down a thought But not for a book It's simply a space That needs to be filled In hopes that a reader Will somehow be thrilled Should I write about nature Should I write about time Should I use nomenclature Should I do it in rhyme Should I use a thesaurus To help me debate Or just sputter words That do not relate The mountain is high The valley is low BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH That stuff's gotta go Don't write about sunshine Don't ponder the rain I need something new To put in refrain This poem is drivel But don't get me wrong I did it for fun Like singing a song But it has to have meaning It has to have worth Oh, how can I raise This poem from birth My ink is the web That I spin with my hand I hope there's some purpose In every strand I guess I should stop Before I go on This poem is pointless And getting too long My tirade is over I've said all I can The next time I write I'll be using a plan Rockman :-)

Very clever! You are such an eloquent rhymer. You can make the simplest subject come alive on the page. I admire your talent :)

Hahaha. Don't you dare say the poem is pointless. I often find silly lil ditties have more depth than the actual serious ones, as in this case. An entertaining write which I enjoyed, my friend. Licia :-)

Thanks Ilene. I was bored and a little bit silly. When you have nothing to write about, you write about nothing. So says Rockman. I wonder if I'll be quoted a hundred years from now. After all, other famous poets were just someone with a pen. I raise a quill to all who came before us and all who will follow.
