Poetry: Poets

WOES OF A POET

I hear the voices in the night

Whispering Get up and write

Poetic lines appear by the number

When I close my eyes in slumber

The voices continue to beat out a rhyme

As I try in vain to sleep one more time

I finally give in and crawl out of bed

Before the rhyming lines leave my head

I stumble and grope my way to the study

And log on to my computer, my writing buddy

As I sit there poised and ready to write

My mind goes blank, try as I might

As my anxiety grows and grows

It's evident my brain has froze

So I give up and go back to bed

When again, rhymes dance in my head
