Poetry: On poems

by Marea E. Johnson

And now it's done

another poem

Some scribbled thoughts

that rant and roam.

A different time

another page

A different date

an older age.

Silly words

to pick and pair

That let you know

I'm not all there.

A private trip

inside my mind

A few more words

to mix and rhyme.

Haikus and sonnets,

free verse and prose

Don't know the meaning

of any of those!

I just have these words

that wanna come out

Don't understand why

or what it's about!

So all I can do

with my paper and pen

Is plop down on my bed

and start a new one again!
