Tangentiality of the Wordsmith

Walk some steps

On a wordpath

Until you run out

Of consonance.

Turn on a dime

For a better rhyme

And you might just craft

Something exciting

For a fraction

Of time.

How we laughed

when you wrote off a stanza

With eery exaction

In one swift motion.

Only to finish

Mid stutter

And spread the remaning butter

Over a different

Slice of ideas.



Such is the fickle nature

Of the wordsmith.

Finding loopholes

In the current stream

And riding tangent waves

With no intent

To finish sleeping off

That former dream.



Now you're sitting there

With pieces

To a million different puzzles

In one rubbled pile.
