The night air off the ocean is very cool as it cozies up <br />next to me tonight; me drinking an imported beer. It reminds me <br />of that warm sweater shirt, the one with the zippered neck <br />that my wife’s mother gave me as a gift last year; the one <br />I’d left laying over the back of my desk chair while the weather <br />was congenial and the temperatures of my spirit were higher. <br />I slip it on over my sleepy head and immediately I feel inspired <br />Like maybe I could write another cheesy, flabby and banal poem…. <br />in under two minutes. <br /> <br />2008 © T<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-to-write-a-poem-in-under-two-minutes/
