I Wrote This Poem

I wrote this poem just because I could,
Because the words in my mind aligned just the way they should,
Because the sweet sounds and the short syllables,
Were eating at my mind like animalistic cannibals,
Because the time, rhyme and meter,
Swirling in my head sounded sweeter and sweeter,
Because the words took me to that land that is constantly tuned to the words the bird sings,
That place where Richard of York goes to battle…. And wins!
So I wrote this poem,
It wasn’t inspired by some tragic event or bittersweet love story,
Nor by some deep thinking of how life has lost its glory,
It doesn’t have a twist, its story has no clever turn,
In fact, truth be told, I wrote this poem just for fun.
