*** Original Poem ***

by 'Meryl'

An original poem is what they said
One that comes from off the top of my head
“How do I do that” I was heard to say
“What ever will I write about today”
I could write about any subject I like
My garden, my hobbies, my music, my life
I could even write one about my orchid spike
Thirty lines or less, printed or typed
An original flowing poem that hasn't been hyped
You'd think it would be easy to write one like that
For no-one can experience life like my old hat
I'm the only one that can see through my brown eyes
So it's up to me to make it as clear as a throw of dice
I must write with words that endorse you to use sight
Use describing words that can be taken light
An original poem of my own industrious work
A piece of mine that will insight, inform, and gladden
Anyone who comes to read or ponder over that may be saddened
One that would bring to life
All those feelings that we suppress through stress and strife
To shine light in this dark, dingy time of ages
And show us the way out in simple stages
To bring smiles and twinkles back to people's faces
Where, perhaps it may remind them of other times or places
An original poem can do all of the above
It can even insight some people to love
One original poem, thirty lines or less
Printed or typed, it has to be the best
