A poem can hit you

     Like a stone from the sky.

It can be sprinkled from heaven

     On a cloud passing by.

​

It can come with a tune

     And arrive like a song;

Be remarkably short

     Or surprisingly long.

 

The subject can be

     The next thing that you see -

And perhaps the next subject - 

     Could even be me!!  (Oh no!) 

​

But you’ve weather and seasons -

     Yes snow and the ice,

But a poem about summer

     Might be rather nice.

 

There’s Christmas and Easter -

     Have you written of these?

Did you write about flowers,

     And birds in the trees? - - -

​

And what about sport?  

     Oh there’s so much to write -

And did you think for one moment

     To write about night?    

 

You may capture a rhythm

     From a band’s noisy beat,

And then words will rise up

     As you walk down the street.

​

Don’t quiver or shiver,

     Don’t panic or curse,

But put pen to your paper

     And capture that verse!
