POEM STARTER
Submitted by SmileyGuitar
Write a poem that starts in a cheerful, bright mood, but then reveals underlying anger or bitterness.
Bide Your Time
All good things come to those who wait
We can sit, we can delay
This form of art takes days-
Days to form
Days to perfect
We have time to bide
The clock has been checked
The work pours from the paintbrush
It
Falls
Into
Place
But now it runs
It runs down the canvas
The art has started a race
The paint is barely viscous
We rise with the sun
We run, run, run
But it is too late
Time and tide waits…….for no one.
