Sara Kendrick Poet Terzanelle

Notes About The Poem

Tough Contest

I thought I would try this contest
My brain really needs a wake-up jolt
I thought I would try this contest

Then on second thought, I might bolt
No, I will stick to it because
My brain really needs a wake-up jolt

So let me just think, take a pause
Yes, just a pause, then really think
No, I will stick to it because

My brain's cogs have run into a chink
Clear the path, oil the gears, brain please start
Yes, just a pause, then really think

Now is the time to write from the heart
No matter how tough the way just say
Clear the path, oil the gears, brain please start

Almost finished, a few more words, hey!!
I thought I would try this contest
No matter how tough the way~ just say
I thought I would try this contest

Timothy Ray May 4, 2022 at 7:15 PM absolutely charming, loved every line. have a friend who does this to jolt her muse....discipline is something that never mixed for me with poetry but do admire your voyage into it Sara Kendrick May 6, 2022 at 3:01 AM Thank you, Timothy. I like to just write as well and worry about trying to put it together later or just do a few tweaks and make it better. Thanks for the visit. Sara

Jeff Kyser May 3, 2022 at 6:23 AM it's like the old days when you had to keep bumping the record player to get it into the next groove, good one :-) Sara Kendrick May 3, 2022 at 7:30 AM Jeff, Yes, that poem form is similar to the old record player that is hung up. LOL..Thanks for the laughter. Sara
