How Prose Grows

Here’s line one

And here’s line two

I thought I’d write

A poem for you.

 

I’ll need a pen

To write each letter

Wait, I think

A pencil’s better

 

If I screw up

With ballpoint pen

I’ll have to start

The poem again

 

Now I’m writing

never knowing

Where my little

poem is going

 

Rhyme and rhythm

Flow with ease

( I never use

Parenthesis )

 

And here I wrote

Line twenty three

Before the last

line came to me.
