Writing Deadlines comical poem by Angela Lansbury

 I prefer to have a deadline

When my fine work is expected

With a margin of one week's time

Before the great work's collected


Don't ask me to save a password

Or remember a strange email

Writing a poem's hard enough

More admin makes creatives fail


But if you want comical verse

My face in a funny photo

Just send a link which I can click

Instantly my brainwaves will flow


I write a poem every day

I wish it were a well-paid job

I'll do one or two, just for you

I've hundreds more on my prized blog


Maybe you frown and speculate

You'd  write something even better?

We could start to converse in verse

In a daily email 'letter'!


We could give each other feedback

Dear mentor, muse, I'll not complain

If you give magic my drafts lack

I'll gladly transform all again


Re-writing's not a bore, chore, war

It nice to ice verse once or twice

What excites me more than writing?

Being printed - paid for advice.
