If I Could Be a Poem With You

Tony Grannell

I’d rise before the early birds
and douse my verse with morning dew.
This poet’s dawn awash with words
if I could be a poem with you.

I’d flee the dark, come into sight,
embrace my day, my light, anew.
Then I would bear again the night
if I could be a poem with you.

With pen I’d verse my every dream
in hope, just one, becoming true.
I’d lay these dreams weighed ream on ream
if I could be a poem with you.

If true, a heart, won with a song,
would then the likes of me come through?
I’d sing the night, the whole day long
if I could be a poem with you.

      I strive for simplicity which I find most difficult to achieve. I greatly appreciate your fine response.

      Kind regards,

      Tony.

        A great poem about wishing to share the joy of poetry and the surviving the day and he night. A very well constructed poem. I like the rhyme and the cadence. Wonderful

          Ah, many thanks Tony; a rousing poem that picked me up for a jaunt to the good old poetry pub! 🙏🏻🕊

          • Tony Grannell

            You are very welcome, arqios. Poetry pub sounds much better than poetry club. Enjoy the jaunt, (years since I've heard that word). Thank you ever so much.

            All the best,

            Tony.

            What a beautiful poem that had me from the title on! I love the title, in fact. And the poem, perfection imho. How each life is a poem and how we can make beautiful music when two poems are put together! Wonderful, wonderful write, my friend! 👏🌹
