I Wrote A Poem

There I was, awaiting bed

So I wrote a poem to clear my head

Not the same as the previous ones

No regard for pentameter or puns

Just a desire to wind things down

To ease my nerves, forget this town

It had been a taxing day

It had sent my mind astray

My head was pounding, endless stress

My back was sore, but I digress 

I knew four stanzas would be best

Then I’d retire to my nest

Finally, it neared the end

I knew I’d send it to a friend

The poem I wrote that weary night

Before my dreams fulfilled my plight
