Right on the night <br /> <br /> <br />Was it right the way I wrote the poem, the last time? <br />Is there a right way or is there a wrong way? <br />Or is there just my way of showing my insecurity as a poet? <br />Either way, I have begun again and begun again <br />Without a plan either for the start or the ending <br />Vague notions swirl around my brain, vague notions and <br />A firmer hope that it will all come right on the night <br /> <br />Does it ever all come right on the night? <br />That famous night when all will magically come right? <br />Well, not in my experience will it all come right on the night <br />A poem that is not poetic beforehand <br />will not magically rhyme on the night <br />A sonata that is not musical beforehand <br />Will not magically sound right on the night <br /> <br />It will need work much work to come right on the night<br /><br />James Hart<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/all-right-on-the-night/
