How do I write my poems down?
The title must come first,
Because it's like the poem's crown,
It's then I get immersed...
A sudden rush of phrases come,
Like waves upon the seas,
Yet from all these, I just pick some,
From then on, it's a breeze!
The verses form lines short and sweet,
Sometimes they even rhyme,
Till that new poem's all complete,
Quite perfect and sublime!
Alas, not so, for errors lurk,
The little so-and-sos,
That's when I really start to work,
To bring things to a close...
It's still not done! I'm not quite through!
The readings must be done!
Ten times or more, not just a few,
I sing it just for fun!
The words and phrases look O.K.
And Grammarly agrees,
That's when my poem's made my day!
Come on, next poem, please!
