THE BIRTH OF A POEM

THE BIRTH OF A POEM
It started with a simple word
A magic word at that
Attracting hosts of other words
Together well they sat
It grew in size, it grew in length
In rhythm and in rhyme
It grew into a verse or two
Within a space of time
And now its done, a finished work
For all the world to see
To warm the heart, to stir the soul
A piece of poetry

But sometimes when it’s said and done
one thinks “Well hell! Can this be fun?
To sit and ponder; scratch one’s head
as through the verses one is lead
to find out after longish time
one simply can not find a rhyme.
Bugger!

Thanks everyone.
All in all a short poem that is probably more suited as a children's poem
