Inspiration Comes With the Dawn!

Inspiration Comes with the Dawn!

I’ve been up since four this morning
But only now is inspiration dawning
Now gone six so I give fair warning
I’ve worked so hard I can’t stop yawning.

A thought has just sprung into my head
I think I might just go back to bed
Trying to make any kind of poem rhyme
Seems to take up an awful lot of time

I’m not sure the end result is worthwhile
Probably not good enough to raise a smile
Still I’ve spent time putting all this effort in
So the least you can do is give a little grin

Yes, it’s you, the reader I’m talking too
Who else would it be if not to you
There’s only thee and me on this page
So if you stop reading I’ll fly into a rage

Well, who could blame me surely not you
Not when you’re the only person who knew
The time and great deal of effort I’ve put in
And all to elicit from you, my reader, a silly grin

So now the three of us you, me and the page
Should take a bow before leaving the stage
But then you must excuse me I’m off to my bed
So you can stop reading, try writing instead!
