PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

gleam from me this warm, gentle gladdening knowledge

harbored once so honestly

well within my sappy happy heart

undeniably inspired

by a too whimsical yesterday's tomorrow

colored so dramatically by the vibrant chalk of

fantastic dreams

that have held me so willingly captive to the moment

right from the very start

the maze that surrounds the haze

buzzing constantly in my over busy mind

begs the jumble of jibbered jargin to be unjumbled

which could quite easily cast me to a much more

structured rhyme

Ms. Jayne Summerfield (I think that was her name)

quite caustically complained

that I had not the need nor the possession of

patience for a constructive creative writer's course

I need more so the license to run free within my

own mind

like that of a well trained thoroughbred

born with the legs of a crafty cutting horse

so my wants once again were shoved far, far back

behind this gripping great need to purposefully

write

and carry on with what the architect of literature

in my soul prods me to do

which is to make and create sense from words

such sweet, all empowering magnificent words

in groups of thousands or merely just an

inspirational few

so that in short is what I feel I must for who

knows how long do

know that I do sincerely apologize Ms. Summerfield

for dropping your creative writing course so

very abruptly in that first couple of weeks

but your gritty analysis of my work was partially

correct but you should know that it is often not

wise to get in the way of anyone who openly seeks

no matter whatever the circumstance

for some paths life has to dole out

were not made to be crossed
