Poem, Heaven and Hell in Jazz Quartet (For Spark 15: Inspiration Piece, Paul Hunter - Response, Brian MacDonald.)
Distractions. 4/16/12
I plan to write a poem today,
About the unseasonable Summer
That's come too soon,
And will probably fade as quickly.
But first, why waste the day?
I plan to write a poem, yes,
But why not check the email first?
Why not write a paper?
There are a thousand things
Far easier to do than write a poem -
and things that must be done.
and things that must be done.
I plan to write a poem today,
But I am not ready yet. I plan to write a poem today,
But why not scrub the bathroom?
Why not wash the dishes, pay the bills?
I can't write in this mess.
I planned to write a poem today,
But I am tired now...
