I Want to Write a Poem and I Want to Write it Now
I want to write a poem but I don’t quite know how.
It’s the early hours of the morning so want to write it now.
I’m sat here at my computer trying to find some inspiration
But spelling mistakes are not helping such a fine aspiration.
So I’ll start with another line to create a good verse.
One thing’s certain, it sure as hell can’t be any worse!
I don’t know though…what I have already written
I’m beginning to like…in fact… I’m quite smitten.
Oh dear, with so few good ideas what shall I write next?
I’m finding it a little difficult to write a decent text.
But who cares because it’s only to pass the time of day.
So it matters not one jot so long as I have my poetic say.
I think my poem is bowling on nicely and I’ve got a good line.
Soon I’ll be finished and this poem will turn out just fine.
Who would have thought that I could be so inspired?
At five o clock in the morning and I don’t feel a bit tired!
Though I can’t say the same for the poor soul reading this.
If you had been more sensible you would have given it a miss.
I won’t be put off because I’m not the sort of person to quit.
But perhaps I should with so little talent and absolutely no wit.
All though who is to say I’m not the next great poet?
Just because they can’t recognise talent but don’t yet know it.
Be brave and put aside critical faculties as you luxuriate,
In this collection of unrelated words only you can appreciate.
With no metre, simile, imagery, symmetry or metaphor,
What is the point of this poem, what the hell is it for?
How should I know it’s no good you looking at me.
I hoped you could make sense of it and help me to see!

Poetry is about feelings and this is exactly what
you have written.
I enjoyed reading this because, poetry or infact
any writing should be about having something to
say, so I take my hat off to you.

I much admire you, Moya. At five in the morning I couldn't write a thing, so like Jenny, I think you are quite amazing;-)

Hello Tina,
Thank you for your lovely comment. I have a need to write when I'm awake at night otherwise I feel like I'm the only person in the world awake.
As long as I can get on the computer so I have something to do then I'm fine.
Take care
Moya

Go back to bed woman, its far too early, you make the rest of us look bad. Writing poetry at silly olcock in the morning, what are you like. Having said that its bloody good!

Do you want me to give you a call? It's not often I can lay in till 5.oclock. I have to get up I can't stay in bed but I'm fine so long as I've got something to do. The computer is my life saver.
Still glad you liked the poem. It was only something to pass the time.
