Writing a Poem Today
Writing a poem today
with really nothing much to say
make it rhyme anyway
and with words I will play
Keep it short or long
give it lyrics of a song
Make it personnel or to all belong
maybe it will be liked by someone
Should my poem be sad or gay
should it lecture and persuade
or just be silly in it's way
Writing a poem today
Happy thoughts of jest
or torture soul of loneliness
Love is cruel or love is best
finding those words to express
Political point made shrewd
proclaiming a religious view
Or keep it tame and smooth
joyful with a tint of blue
Write it safe do not disturb
carefully select each word
Or damn it all the world's a turd
let it go with the absurd
Writing a poem today
with really nothing much to say
Will it come out anyway
