I'll write a poem...

Why do you write?

I'll write a poem, I'll make it good

to earn reviews to light my mood.

I'll use the lines that sound so smart,

pretend they're true right from my heart.

 

I'll write a poem, I'll make it sad,

act like a victim of a heartless lad,

gather sympathies with tactful ease

in graceful verse with thoughts to please.

 

I'll write a poem, I'll make it rhyme,

condemn all free verse as a shameful crime.

I'll bribe my muses to disguise my words

in celestial rhythm to appease the lords.

 

I'll write a poem, I'll make it known.

To hundreds of fans, I'll have it shown.

They'd be impressed, thinking of a cause,

never suspecting I write for the applause.

Author's Note

I was so bored I had to amuse to myself with this kind of humor.

That's so true. I think we all do that some time. Just to make yourselves feel good. And not just by posting poems or write ups, even by posting photos in hope that some known or unknown would like and drop a comment. These small appreciations lift up our mood. I couldn't help but smile while reading this poem. Thanks Arzel!

Many reasons for writing. I use writing as a release for good and the bad. I like the flow of thoughts in the entertaining poetry.

Ooo, that second stanza speaks to me on a personal level. In fact, this whole poem does. Amazing.
