POETRY: I MUST REMAIN FOCUSED

FOR the first time, I am posting poetry here. 

Educational poetry, I mean.

I was helping another group discussing Rhyme and Rhythm and decided to pen some of those lines while the "bug" is still here.

Also, while searching on the net for good poetry, I came across some sites that had poems by individuals - and they were nice.

Well, here is the first from me.

I MUST REMAIN FOCUSED – By TH, May 12

I must remain focused

Keep my eyes off the locust

That’s flying here and there

All o’er, everywhere  

I’ve many lines to write

And if I get them right

The writer would be paid

Time’s running out, she said

She? Yes, Jewel, my boss

She blasts us for the loss

When we send the lines late

She talks like death’s our fate

Well, let me quit my chat

Put on my thinking hat

And ink those lines right

While there is still much light  

Let the locust move out there

While I get work done here

Bees and birds are there too  

But I’ve got work to do

Tomorrow when I’m done

Will come out to the sun

Sit with a drink and stare

As they fly about there
