Poetry Beginnings

Hello paper
What shall I write about today?
I haven’t written in a while
There is so much to say!

Maybe I’ll write about love
Something sweet and sappy
Perhaps a heart-warming story
Something joyful and happy

Shall I discuss the downfall of government?
Or perhaps our hopeless humanity?
About Mother Nature’s heavy burdens?
About hate, death and insanity?

Maybe I’ll write about weather
Sun shining through clouds in the rain
The way the leaves rustle in a breeze
The heat on a desert plain

Is there room for religion?
The faith that stirs within
The way it tests individuals
With it’s definitions of sin

Perhaps I’ll write about Nature
The moon’s rays shining through trees
The melody of a small bird
The ocean’s salty breeze

Shall I describe my life’s journeys?
The pain that each one brings
The lessons that I learn from them
A new understanding of things

There’s great magick in this world
Perhaps I should discuss that?
The way the wind speaks to us
The shining eyes of a cat

Is my mood the right subject?
Its tendency to go wild
How calm and serene I’ll be one moment
But suddenly act like a child

Shall I discuss all things I hate
Or all things I truly love?
Maybe things that don’t matter to me
Or all of the above?

I wonder what I should write
And what it should be about
Who knows where my words will take me?
We’ll just have to find out…

    Very clever!

    Heh, this is very interesting indeed. Reminds me of a piece I wrote regarding a bunny that messed with my writing styles. The whole 4th wall being torn, I like that

    Awesome

    This is very cleverly written! Your 'conversation' took me on a wonderful journey. Rhyme and flow are spot on - very well thought through verses that could easily stand alone but together they drove the story forward... - really enjoyed reading this...look forward to seeing more...cheers!

    this is ace, just what I tend to think when I feel the need to have a quiet time to write! And I love the idea of 'talking' to the paper and asking its 'opinion' on what o write about, it adds charector. well done X
