Poetry fun

Day one National poetry month.

What fun, what japes, what wonderment
a month? A month of merriment
an ode, a rhyme, a tale of verse
A time for words now to rehearse

To prose to say roughly there about.
To speak sombre or to scream and shout
to say a smile or a tearful stance.
To be good humoured and then dance

maybe one word left well alone
a sigh to follow the heartfelt moan.
A requiem of chants or a simple ditty
something dark or something witty.

What words will come to us this time
a thousand shout out near the line
Pick us they say. They wave their hands
take us into your poetry lands.
