The Poet Tree
In my garden grows a Poet Tree
With gazillions of poems for everybody
Rhythms roll down from its branches to its roots
Do you want inspiration?
Come pick yourself some fruit
Some poems are short
Some poems are long
Some rhyme, some don't
Some sound like a song
Some make you sad
Some make you smile
Some make you...
STOP!
...and think for a while
Some are new
Some you've heard
Some contain made up magical words
Think of a theme
A title
A topic
You can bet my Poet Tree's got it
Glasses, moustaches, clocks, caterpillars
Cucumbers, odd numbers, chocolate, chinchillas
Daft dogs, fat frogs, kisses, kings, castles
Lampposts, burnt toast, postmen with parcels
Computers, peashooters, favourite places
Fairies, football, figs, fish, films, funny faces
Comics, electronics, sticky tape, street signs
Big balloons, blue baboons, silver, socks, sunshine
In my garden grows a Poet Tree
With gazillions of poems for everybody
Rhythms roll down from its branches to its roots
Do you want inspiration?
Come pick yourself some fruit
