BugsyA Poem by Lizzie MitchellWhen I told a stranger online that I love poetry he asked if I could write something off the top of my head. I wasn't sure, so I tried.
He asked me a question
So hard to ignore About this poetry I claimed to adore I read his question as I lied in my bed He said write me something Off the top of your head I felt that I must Just to prove I'm invested So I began to write Challenge accepted My head began spinning How long should it be? Is this just the beginning? It's amazing that he Was able to inspire A wonder that My muse didn't tire As many times as I've struggled To create something new I guess a rhyme was long overdue Well I think this should do it I don't need to write more What am I even proving this for? Maybe I figured I should Just to prove to myself that I could Write a poem on cue Off the top of my head Write a poem for you As I lie in my bed © 2013 Lizzie Mitchell |
