What Would You Do?
When you need to think up some poetry,
What are you going to do?
Are you going to create something false?
Or think of something quiet true?
When reading in front of an audience,
Do you read something someone else wrote?
Or do you step up to the plate,
And read one of your own creations about a moat?
You can't find a poem you like,
And you've racked your brain for a poem to write,
You know you're not in a cartoon,
A bulb wont appear above your head and light.
A poem you must read to write or write to read.
A poem you must form,
You've thought as hard as you can
But there's nothing left for you to brain storm.
Today happened to me,
As I sat beneath my back yard tree,
Yet I did think of something someone wrote,
I re-said it to myself, with my own throat.
This is what I came up with,
A poem of how I tried.
To write a poem for me to read.
Not a single word within it is a lie.
