I’m making this up as I go along,
So forgive my insanity if this goes quite wrong.
But I’m bored to tears with whatever I’ve done,
So I thought, for a laugh, I’d have some fun.

I have no idea what I’ll write about,
Who knows what utter nonsense I’ll try to spout.
I suppose I’ll just write about stuff that’ll rhyme,
After all, a poem without rhyme is simply a crime.

Some may argue that I’m wrong with that claim,
Some poems don’t rhyme and have still achieved fame.
Well, I just find it an easier task,
When the poem has rhymes coming thick and fast.

To be honest, I’m more of a storyteller,
I never really saw myself as a poet feller.
But today I decided it was about time,
I sat myself down and started a rhyme.

I think I need to find a new word for rhyme,
I’ve already used it in this poem five times.
Perhaps a change in subject is required,
But when it comes to topics, I’m not that inspired.

Maybe it’s best if I just put down my pen,
But as I’m on a computer, it would be a keyboard then.
How does one put down one of those?
(I’m getting fed up: I think I’ll stick with prose)

Well, the poem says it all: I was bored one day, and so I decided to write a poem. However, I was too tired to think of a subject, so I simply made it up as I went along. I think it turned out rather well.

You seem to be a talented writer. That was a cute piece. Made me smile as I was reading along.

I don't usually like poetry that much: I prefer writing stories, but this is my favourite out of all the poems I've written, simply because it is the perfect way of explaining myself. This poem is me: someone unsure of what they're doing, but tries to have fun along the way.

Isaac Asimov was more of a storyteller, too. He said in an editorial in his Science Fiction magazine some interesting things about poetry. Right here.

I love light verse.

I'm going to show this to my Engish teacher, she'd love it!

Wow... I can't believe I've got people wanting to show their TEACHERS!! I'm not sure if that's good or bad, but it kind of makes me feel... SPECIAL. smile

Thats pretty awesome. It would be an okay rap, too!

Wow...that's how I feel when I'm trying to write...^.^

Good job.

It's not actually planned either, this poem. It is, genuinely, my thoughts. I simply tweaked some of the words afterwards to make it rhyme. This is me. This is the problem I face when trying to think about new ideas. Pure Wolfie Kid. biggrin

Wow, I must say that the poem you wrote is very good and it made me smile. It is true though, it is how most poets feel when trying to write a poem. This is an insipre to me for I am a poet.
