I’d love to write some poems
Poems of my own
Ones which people want to read
So I’ll become well known.
.
I sit and stare into my screen
The words just fail to flow
I scratch my head and bite my nails
My poem just won’t grow.
.
The other day a line appeared
inside my fuzzy head.
But could I find some words to rhyme?
I wrote some prose instead.
.
If they can do it why can’t I?
It’s not for want of trying.
My friends can do it, it’s not fair
Sometimes I feel like crying.
.
So let’s have a practice
find some words wot rhyme.
My thinking cap’s perched on my head
They are bound to come in time.
,
Let me think….
.
Bard, card, lard, yard, jarred
Plop, hop, drop, cop, mop
Kite, white, fight, might, plight
Stop, crop, lop, bop, flop.
.
That didn’t help, at least I tried
I don’t know what to do.
But wait a minute something stirred!
A feeling that’s quite new.
;
Here goes!
.
‘He gazed into her longing eyes
And saw inside her mind.
He gazed at her and realised
that he…he…he…..’
.
Oh poo!
.
I guess I’ll never make the grade
I’ll never be a bard.
Poetry is not my thing
It’s far too bloody hard!

Welcome back Sadje, and thank you for hosting What Do You See?

I’d suggest rhymer.com, but not sure if it would make much difference. 😉
Still, well done. As always, a clever response to the prompt.
