Eight-line Poems

Inspiration

Some bright spark leaps out ahead,
a sharp idea makes him cry and bellow,
“It’s all quite clear inside my head!”
inspires the others to blindly follow.

Purple, blue, green, orange and red,
take their lead from blazing yellow
switched on, he is, enlightened fellow,
conductor now, he reigns instead.
