Poetry?A Poem by Alexander C.S.Poem that I one day felt compelled to write due to my writers block. One must take inspiration from what they can, eh? Also the winner of a first place award at my former High School's Poetry Slam.I have no idea how to write poetry. Ooh dear, I've forgotten I want this to rhyme But what am I to do sitting still as a ... Tree? My oh my, I've made a rhyme, by God, it sounded like a chime! And there it is, a good rhythm's going At this pace there is no sign of slowing! I could keep this up for hours, am I gloating? Perhaps I should stop before my ego starts a-bloating! Like an oven containing rising bread! Oh no, that was terrible. More rhymes like that and I can end up dead! I have an idea: this whole story can be a parable about a student who attempted to write poetry And feeling his writing unbearable Scrapped it like a piece of bad poultry And because he didn't give up, a work of art about not being able to work art was born Containing a moral that one can do great things when they feel torn And how this student scrapped his new work of art To start again with a line most notably: "I have no idea how to write poetry" © 2016 Alexander C.S. |
