It's not hard to write a poem
It's not hard to write a poem You let your pen flow On the pages that are blank Filling them with your thoughts You let your hand make movements To form words on the sheets that lie In front of you, dry, waiting to be filled Slowly, or in a haste A poem is a thought that lurks In the darkness when you're trying To fall asleep It is an emotion you feel When you're waiting for a friend At the bus stop, and they get late It's a memory of when your parent Held your bag when it got too heavy When you came back from school It's anything that sparks you Builds up a will to pick up a pen And jot down a few lines No rhymes It's not hard to write a poem It's not hard to be a poet For a poet is everyone who Can dream, can think Can stop and look at a street light And imagine how it shines It's not hard to write a poem For a poet is everyone that smiles
