a real poem tomorrow

tomorrow you will
write a real poem.
something with substance,
enough fooling around.
perhaps a sonnet
or two.
something serious
with metaphors.
maybe the topic of love
will be mentioned,
most certainly
old age and death.
traditional themes.
perhaps some darker
topics will be
touched on as well.
it will not be a fun
poem. no one will
laugh, instead they
will shake their
heads and say, poor
fellow, what he must
be going through.
