Three Verses

Three items, works of rhyming prose

I hadn't considered the challenge they'd pose

I'll just whip this up

One, two, three,

Commit the lines to memory

and just like that I'd have three verses.

Things seldom go the you rehearse it.

So I sit and admire the morning dew

pen to paper, Idle thought flowing through

As I set out to write three future classics

that someone else might read one day

And in search of quick inspiration say

Grant me three works of rhythm and rhyme

Let me write three verses set to time.

The Block

Pen to paper
and steadily ink flows
to a single dot
a scratch
a line

No word written
No thought given image
No clever rhyme scheme
Can't find
Rhythm
Measure

Cotton for Brains
And teddy bear stuffing
stitched and sewed so tight
My thought pipe clogged
head gone
skull numb
gone dumb
