I need to write a poem, but how shall I do it, <br /> <br />First of all shall I write standing up, or just sit; <br /> <br />Until I get comfortable, I won't be able to start, <br /> <br />All the words will be muddled up, and then it'll fall. Apart. <br /> <br /> <br />Now! I got it right, I will choose the title to write about, <br /> <br />No good getting frustrated, or even sit or pout; <br /> <br />Just need to relax, and then the words will come easy, <br /> <br />Cause if I try to hard, Then my stomach will feel queasy. <br /> <br /> <br />I know what sort of holiday would people like, <br /> <br />And as I start the poem, the hall clock did strike; <br /> <br />Oh! It is now is what I can do, write about the time passing, <br /> <br />And so I have the heading, the thoughts on paper lasting. <br /> <br /> <br />It's got colour, size, And description, and the taste of art, <br /> <br />It's come from my mind, emotions, and also from the heart; <br /> <br />It has vision, and thoughts about where I want to go, <br /> <br />Yes! I think it'll get some to agree, to me they'll show. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />So if you have a problem to write a poem or story, <br /> <br />Just read this poem, as a help, it's a help from me; <br /> <br />Don't force the idea, or rush it through at all, <br /> <br />Just go have a cuppa, read an article or a friend call. <br /> <br /> <br />Eventually it'll come, the words will flow along, <br /> <br />You might even end up, turning it into a song; <br /> <br />Writing poems will be rewarding, just give a go, <br /> <br />And you might enjoy it, they may end up in a show.<br /><br />margaret haig<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-need-to-write-2/
