On the subject of writing poetry-Revised


© 2007


Dan Johnson


 


Have you ever tried writing poetry?


standing on your feet


As far as I’m concerned


it really is no treat!


 


Have you ever tried writing poetry?


standing on your head


The way my luck goes,


my pencil would have no lead.


 


Have you ever tried writing poetry?


Lying on your back


As far as I can see,


It would be a real pain…and that’s a natural fact!


 


It really makes no difference,


The position that you choose.


If it makes you happy,


You cannot lose.


 


Dan Johnson

So true my friend...I have learned that when I have a thought or my muse speaks to me that I had better get it down on paper or computer right then...or well we all know the rest of the story...as Tink said if we snooze we loose! Enjoyed this my friend, hope you are having a wonderful holiday!
Blessings from Ky.
