I was up all night,
Didn’t make it to bed.
Didn’t hear a word she said
Just writing poems kept me awake
Trying to figure out what should rhyme
Trying to not waste to much time
How many words will I need
To make this poem one to keep
Another day is here to for the taking
How many mistakes will I keep making
Time has come for eyes or so it seems
I need glasses even when I dream
Doe’s what I write make any sense
Will others who read this take offense
Should I continue on or take a break
Or will my words sound more than fake
When will I know my poem is complete
Is there something I should go back and delete
As the bottom of the page comes into view
I try to think up something new
I think it’s time to wrap up this session
I hope I have made a good impression
I think it’s time to get out of this chair
I hope this is judged by those who are fair
