Writing Poetry
By Lisa Noe


Sometimes I have no more emotion in me
but then it will sneak out when I least expect it
a word here a phrase there
before you know it a sentence emerges.

I am wanting to write the great American Novel
But the thoughts eludes me I am but a poor poet
Typing miniature thoughts endlessly onto a screen
And hoping that people can make of it sense.

Hoping each work will be better than the last
But knowing in my heart that it will not be
I dot my I’s and cross my T’s without thought
Of what I might have overlooked, to edit is a breeze.

Oh to write a story of warmth and laughter
A story all could seize
Ah tis a dream for I shall keep here writing
Little poems of insignificant perception.
