The Poet's Test
Count the nights you could not sleep
Though you've tried your best
The words inside just would not keep
This is the Poet's test
How many times do words spill out,
As you go through your day?
If your answer is many, there is no doubt
Your muse had something to say
Have you stopped what you are doing
To give way to your muse?
Is your mind continually reviewing
Deciding which words to use?
Do you sleep with paper and pen,
Somewhere beside your bed?
To free the words that's trapped within
Your muses sleepless head
If you answered yes to one of these
You've probably already guessed
You have that dreaded poet disease
You passed the poet's test
