As I hold my pen between my fingers <br />and place it on the paper before me, <br />Several thoughts fly through my mind <br />writing a poem is tough, you see! <br /> <br />What should I write about? <br />What should I? <br />I was able to do nothing <br />Now should I cry? <br /> <br />I bang my head against the wall <br />I nibble the end of my pen, <br />I clutch my hair and pluck them hard <br />I run around damaging my 'den' <br /> <br />I was being troubled <br />yes, a lot! <br />I begged the Lord, Almighty <br />to give me a thought! <br /> <br />At last, God looked at me <br />and took some pity <br />he then blessed me <br />with some creativity <br /> <br />A new thought then <br />started creeping into me <br />I stood up alert <br />begging it not to flee <br /> <br />My thought was fragile <br />I had to write it away <br />my mind would forget it <br />at the slightest sway! <br /> <br />I picked up my pen <br />and sat on the floor <br />When I was about to start, <br />someone BANGED the door! ! ! <br /> <br />SNAP! my thought flew away <br />I held my head in despair, <br />A Salesman grinned through the window and asked- <br />'SIR! A Trimmer to trim your hair? ? '<br /><br />NITHEESH ANNADANAM<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-i-wrote-my-poem/
