~~~

Dawn draws nigh

As time goes by

And I am left here wanting

~~~

Nothing worse

Than tragic curse

For the words I am hunting

~~~

Metronome

In monotone

Counts down to an end

~~~

War profuse

In words to choose

And the time I spend

~~~

It’s no fun

When left undone

The poem I came to write

~~~

Pen will cease

Its thoughtful tease

With the coming light

~~~

Tough it seems

That in my dreams

Words have their own wills

~~~

Work does call

For after all

Its what pays the bills

~~~
