Poem Story: A few items of poetry I'm posted at forums and chats over the years that I felt were worth saving.

February 2022 version
Note: Due to being an Australian author I used UK English in this work.
Over the years I’ve written some poetry in response to posts in chat rooms and forums. Most weren’t worth keeping, but there are a few I felt were worth keeping and I’ve copied them here. I may add to this short list as time goes by, but I make no promises. The poetry I wrote to go with the Clan Amir stories are in the stories and also in a special posting just for them as part of that series.

These are my own works, as against the poetry of my father which are in another post of their own under his name, which is the same as mine.

Poetic Pause
It was a late night dreary,
A writer sat down weary,
To answer a forum query,
He wasn’t feeling too cheery.
As he had a terrible cold,
And wasn’t feeling too bold,
A poem to write he was told,
Swearing hard he said, “Sold.”
“Now think,” he did say,
But no poem came his way,
His muse he could not sway,
And he sits there to this day.
Frozen in thought and deed,
As he tries to fulfil this need,
He has no idea of a poetic seed,
He’s stumped and stopped indeed.
