Poetic License: ‘All Write With Me’

Apr 18, 2018 1 min read

It’s the wrong poem

At the wrong time,

Though the lyric’s lovely

It’s the wrong rhyme,

It’s not my rhyme,

But such a clever rhyme

That’s it’s all right with me.

It’s the wrong ode

With the wrong scheme,

Though the theme is heavy

It’s the wrong theme,

It’s not my theme

But such a lofty scheme

That it’s all rite with me.

I’m not sure I’m happy

Dear Muse that we’ve met –

I’m strangely attracted to you.

So many poems

I’m trying to forget,

Won’t you help me forget

Some poems too.

It’s the wrong role

In the wrong play,

Though you’ll try to act it

It’s the wrong way,

It’s not my way

But there is one way

If tomorrow you’re free,

Yes, I’ll playwright,

If you play right

‘Cause it’s all write with me.
