Trying to Write a Literary Poem...

How to write a literary poem

that is the question roaming in

my mind -

how to be kind

how to be polite

how to show respect

how to ignore neglect

how to be silent

not to be violent

not to run about

speak less and slowly

not to shout or be loud

all my life these lessons

we learnt and wrote

I have so many words to quote

but what I see and hear around

is not a bit like it was supposed

to 'be' and ''sound'

What I now hear and learn

see all over, the missing 'L'

or the missing 'O'

'Hello became 'HELL'

and how did 'LEARN' become '-EARN

These questions roaming in my mind

causing anxiety stress anxiety deep

how do we then our literary treasures keep

how many poets how many writers?

what are they writing and who is reading?

so many websites so many sites

so many words that continue to excite

what makes a writeup literary we need to know

history politics religion culture economics

all the five of the ''age'' should show

Hear Ye Poets Writers Authors Critics All

I Teach Poetry, if I write it , it will be on The Wall!
