Let’s write a poem
For the fun of it
Rhyme, combine, design
Thoughts, phrases, words
Stanzas absurd.
Let’s use alliteration
1st, 2nd, 3rd person narration
Let us not forget
Capital letters, commas and full stops
To crop,
Our faults.
Let’s write about love, loss and heartache,
Let’s make mistakes
Relationships, politics,
Let’s get lost, in this;
Wonderful world of ink and paper.
Let’s dangle emotions
Delicately of straight
Lines, text, worth
Thousands of pounds
To someone.
Let’s dribble prose across the page
Lead rhyme
Into an organised,
Coherent line
Hold hands with demands
Laced, not closed,
Of errors dispose.
Let’s write a poem
For the fun of it
Watch it age, as the pages, discolour.
But remain as beautiful, if not more so
Than it were, when first composed.
