Rambling Tirade
This is a moment
A moment I took
To write down a thought
But not for a book
It's simply a space
That needs to be filled
In hopes that a reader
Will somehow be thrilled
Should I write about nature
Should I write about time
Should I use nomenclature
Should I do it in rhyme
Should I use a thesaurus
To help me debate
Or just sputter words
That do not relate
The mountain is high
The valley is low
BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH
That stuff's gotta go
Don't write about sunshine
Don't ponder the rain
I need something new
To put in refrain
This poem is drivel
But don't get me wrong
I did it for fun
Like singing a song
But it has to have meaning
It has to have worth
Oh, how can I raise
This poem from birth
My ink is the web
That I spin with my hand
I hope there's some purpose
In every strand
I guess I should stop
Before I go on
This poem is pointless
And getting too long
My tirade is over
I've said all I can
The next time I write
I'll be using a plan
