Write a poem

thats what they said

now I am laying here

half dead

longing for food

I cannot eat

it takes too long

and might put me to sleep.

Write a poem

and then many more

it’s  still early

I have to stay awake

way past four.

I can do it

I know I can

Think of a rhyme

maybe two

keep on going

until I’m through.

Well, how about you?
