poem ~ a poem

Hey guys! I have a funny poem to share with you today 😂 I’m participating in Krisha’s poetry contest, and I finished writing my first entry this morning! I still had a lot of leftover poem energy after that writing session haha, therefore my poem about poems was born. I hope you enjoy it! 💖

edit: I posted on The Jolly Space today, which you can check out here!

poem ~ a poem ✒️

Rhyming is hard, as you can see –
It challenges you like it challenges me.
And when you wonder if something is right,
Writing will extend long into the night.

Stanzas are short, and stanzas are long –
Some are where they don’t belong.
When the timing is off and the pace is slow,
That’s when you realize your inadequacy shows.

Writing a poem is no easy feat,
And it takes courage to keep writing along,
With pride in your heart and shoes on your feet,
You take the journey while singing a song.

Some verses make sense,
While others do not –
Did those last four verses
End up where they ought?

And these are the questions
You must ask yourself,
If you are to grow
As a poet… or elf.

Just kidding,
But sometimes poems are hard to write –
Can you really rhyme where it doesn’t seem right?

Sure you can!
You can rhyme anywhere you like!
You could write a poem while
Sitting on a bike.

My poem ends here,
And justly so –
While this ending is sudden,
My bravery shows.

Haha there you have it! If you like writing poetry, I’d love to read a poem you write about poems you write. lol let’s start a trend! 😂👏💕
