April Celebration

National Poetry Month is half gone; barely written a thing

Can’t get the words to rhyme; inspiration does not ring

I’ve learned not to force the point; let it come in time

But now I’m a bit impatient for a set of words that rhyme

It is true. I’m nothing more than a lemonade stand poet

Limited in my ability and style; me and the Lord know it

But I can accept that fact without a single argument

I just cannot handle this waiting and this long dry stint

I write from inspiration; taking words to shape as they come

Like some foreign land native beating a message on a drum

The focus comes into view and inspires me all the more

The inspiration does its thing as more and more words pour

So if I am a poet, I should celebrate these special days

And write verses on paper in all shapes and rhyming ways

Then I showcase the words of a lemonade stand poet in style

And entertain my reader with words that rhyme all the while

So here is my verse and I hope you find it an enjoyable one

It is designed to rhyme and give us all a bit of fun

So enjoy to your desire; help celebrate in all the revelry

Join in for April and celebrate the National Month of Poetry
