Here For The Poetry

Here for the poetry

I sadly must say

That there will be

None of that today

 

While I am an engine

Of such versery

I am not ever running

And sometimes can't

Or rather won't

Make my goodly verse

 

Here for the poetry

I sadly must say

That there will be

None of that today

 

Save that this

This thing here

Is verse itself

As I knew

When it formed first

In my head

Straight to the page

 

Here for the poetry

I happily say

That it is here

For you today

 

Charles Petrie
