I haven’t yet
WHACK!
Quite got it right
WHACK!
That word won’t fit
WHACK!
Puttin up a fight!

I know it should
BAM!
Go into place
BAM!
It needs encouragement
BAM!
And just the right space

I’ll get it yet
WHAM!
It’s gonna go
WHAM!
Just another
WHAM!
Minute you know

I’ll knock it in
BANG!
Almost there-
BANG!
and finish this poem
BANG!
For you to share

CRASH!!!!!!!!
Oh….. I broke it.
Never mind!

Thanks... but familiar? In what way?

 

Submitted by maggyvaneijk on
in a way it seems to replicate my mind when I'm working on a poem, not familiar as in unoriginal!

Thanks for that, was worried I had inadvertently paraphrased some obscure poem I didn't know about. Also, thanks for taking the time to read it and comment!
