Just when I Thought I had a Great Poem…

a poem about writing a poem

I have my place in the library.
Kids are making just enough noise
for me to concentrate.
Silence is not the best way
to write well.

I turn on my computer
and log into my account.
Today is the day
I make a great poem!

Today is the day
I’m discovered as
some poetic genius!
Or whatever the poets
want to be these days.
I’m still new in
the full-time writing thing.

I get on my page
then open my purse.
Crap.
I forgot the most
important thing
to my great poem.
