Poetry
IN DECISIVE PENMANSHIP
By Robru
12 July 2008

 Writing is enjoyable, but it also requires a little time for preparing its presentation.


        Do I know all about my subject?
        Yes; I know that's true.
        Is my experience broad enough
        For what I want to do?

        Will my feelings show in writing?
        That I don't know yet
        But if I make a conscious effort
        My meaning you shall get.

        Will descriptions show the picture
        Which is locked up in my mind?
        Can I choose the words correctly
        Without getting in a bind?

        Will my grammar make it readable?
        Full stops, commas, all that stuff,
        Or will the finished product
        Be just too bl**dy rough?

        Will the words flow like a river,
        Sometimes fast, sometimes slow,
        Will the rhythm suit the words I use?
        I would really like to know.

        Well, I guess I'd better write it out
        Then forget it for a while,
        When I come back to edit it
        I may even raise a smile

        To find the errors I have written
        Damn mistakes that I have made
        Check that 'sunny days have sunshine
        Tall trees make good shade.'

        Then it can rest awhile once more
        For this work it's but a try
        When I come back next edit
        I'll read with different eyes.

        When I'm happy that this work's complete
        I'll post it up somewhere
        Hear what you readers have to say
        Hope you'll always treat me fair.
