My Next Poem! Poem by Denis Martindale

My Next Poem!



When I look out the window
I see the world by day and night.
It changes everything I choose to write about.
Sunny days and stormy days we can all recognise,
Yet Summer or Winter, Spring or Autumn,
We know, that this could be our last day.

If we have ever received a blessing
From a fellow poet or poetess,
Then it could be that we merely
Copy their style or merely
Let the words flow freely, without restraint.

If, however, we strive towards perfection,
Maybe we will stick with the 8,6,8,6 syllables style.
Whatever style we create for each poem,
We aren't always going to write profound poetry
Or great epics for posterity.

Sometimes we're simply playful,
Sharing something that adds a smile here and there.
But if today is my last day,
I still have poems I want to write
And ideas bubbling away,
With fantastic phrases
And winsome words
And scintillating sentences.

I have seen the wonders of the Universe,
But I have not seen my next poem...
I'm still curious how it will turn out.
God willing, I will find out
And share it on the poemhunter website!
