Keyboard Magic

The poet's life's a lonely one
Trapped behind computer screen
While fingers tap out random thoughts
In a weird hypnotic dream...

In altered consciousness, the mind
Brings themes and feelings to the fore
Memories once left behind
Bounce onto the pitch – and score!

Scandals, celebs and fake news
Sweet beauty of an autumn day
Humour or some trenchant views
All form rhymes on my display.

I never know what I shall write
Or in what mood each day I'll be
But the wording seems to turn out right
And the person most surprised is – me!

(c) Poet in the woods 2018
