Microscopic Topic
I have a poem topic, but it’s very, very small.
It is so tiny; you can almost not see it at all”
It came into my brain in one tiny spirt.
It was so small; it was barely a squirt…
Of an idea; hardly met the needs of a topic.
I was embarrassed to share; it was so very microscopic!
But my mom said ‘it did not matter the size
And I should write it and I would see the prize
My topic would be to all who would read…
It may possibly fill something they need.
The verses could bring a great deal of joy
Even if the reader turned out to be a BOY”.
So I sat down in the chair and wrote the poem-topic down.
When it was finished, all I did was frown!
I walked over to the waste basket to throw it away…
When my mother entered the room and said a loud HAY!
She pulled out the topic, sat down and then cried.
The words she said made my eyes go WIDE!
“These are the most wonderful thoughts you could ever write.
You should keep them close and hold them tight”.
So…I am much older now, and have written much more.
I’ll share them with my kids…
If…
THEY DON’T RUN OUT
THE
DOOR!
