Who's Game

William Overington

Here is my entry for the songwriter's challenge.

 
Who's Game
 
Who's game to accept a challenge
Who's game to write a song
Who's game to write some lyrics
Who's game to sing along
Who's game to write some verses
Who's game for metaphor
Who's game to imagine landscape
Who's game to search for more
 
Who's game to accept the title
Who's game to write again
Who's game for the seeds of challenge
Who's game to feel the rain
Who's game to be a songwriter
Who's game to play a part
Who's game to sing of science
Who's game to entwine art
 
Build a bridge! Build a bridge!
Let its arch bear the strain
Gently craft its keystone
Then go back to land again
Singing songs that we've written
With titles the same suppose
Yet from the seeds of challenge
A varied forest grows
 
Who's game to key the letters
Who's game to share the text
Who's game to enjoy the challenge
Who's game to await the next
Like a forest on an island
That will drift away in time
Varied species of one genus
Varied intertwines of rhyme
Varied species of one genus
Varied intertwines of rhyme
