Voyeuristic it may be
I scan the prose of all I see
Addicted to drink the works of others worldwide
Until I scribe my own thoughts from inside
I would not steal or plagiarize
My own creations I devise
But the insight I get from the other poets sojourn
Stirs my juices to flourish, from each one I do learn
Prose and poetry, words stop, frustration
We all want to write for our own adulation
So when I lose my way, the brick wall of the scribe
I escape to the pow wow of the world poets tribe
Spinning and yarning of colours unique
I celebrate the grandeur as each one climbs its peak
I am rarely left empty no matter how intense or obscure
Its my dependence and its healthy and deliciously pure
So I thank all the dreamers, the haters and the lovers
The self proclaimed prophets, those who write from beneath the covers
Those who imagine their own death and those who celebrate living
I thank you all. You know not what you are giving
And if you have decended into my world. Feeling the block of the writer
Your wracking your brain and your fingers they draw tighter
Flex your keys to the world and consume many wild inspirations
We share your addiction, now share with us your creation.
Love your poem. Andrew, if it is any consolation;
all poets are Liars and Plagerist and the best
writers are those voyeurs with a touch of dementia.
If you have writers block, do not lament it as cruel
fate, count your blessings Sir and get out while you still can. (aaah - too late) LOL
