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
