How I Wrote This Poem

September 30, 2015
By Anonymous

In the tower the bell
is alone, like a man
in his room
thinking and thinking

 

here I sit
in my room
thinking and thinking
about what to write

 

I think about
what I have written
in the past.  A poem
about why I don’t like poetry

 

It was brilliant
smart
a way to get a passing grade
shining like a bronze bell

 

here I sit
in my room
thinking and thinking
about what to write

 

And finally, the bell tolls
breaking the silence
and suddenly I know
what to write
