The Greatest Poem Ever Written

Well it is Sunday tomorrow.

The clock is ticking down.

Mass in the morning,

sleeping in the afternoon.

Dinner roasting,

pen in hand,

plans in making.

I think I'm going to write

the greatest poem

ever written.

It is trailing inside of me

even as I write

these words.

I can feel its' gripping force

capturing words

I'm trying to use.

Monday will come and

Monday will go.

When will these words

get written down?

Perhaps next week?

Perhaps next year?

Perhaps when I'm

feeble and old?

Maybe the words are just waiting

for a typical Sunday type of mood?

Who knows?

But I do know,

somewhere inside of me

is the greatest poem

ever written!
