The Seed of a Poem
When the seed of a poem gets planted in my head
I often rush to post it, so it will soon get read
Instead of watering it and nurturing it so it grows instead
When the seed of a poem gets planted in my head.
Patience is not a trait that I own,
So, I sometimes post a poem not full grown.
You would think this something by now I had known
But patience is not a trait that I own.
When my conscience gives an idea a new birth
I don't always give it the thought that its worth
I should ponder upon it while I travel the earth
When my conscience gives an idea a new birth.
I often procrastinate on many a new thing
But not when an idea my conscience wants to bring
My own kept secrets I am the first one to sing
Even though I often procrastinate on many a new thing.
This seed was planted only a moment ago,
If you've learned anything then of course you would know,
I have to post it and so here we go,
This seed was planted only a moment ago.
