Poetry is hard

I sit in front of my computer screen.

The screen is blank, no words appear on it.

If I do not finish the task for seen,

My teacher says that I just might get hit.

I think and think but nothing comes to mind.

The screen stares back at me with not a word.

I could not find the words to say each line.

Its time I should just pray to the lord.

Right then the thought came into my bright mind,

I’ll write about how I cannot write this.

And as I finish this I finish this I will resign

From writing poems because this is no bliss.

I now know how hard poetry can be,

I will leave it to the poets with a degree.
