PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Inspiration is fleeting and fickle,

And does not mix with procrastination. 

They are liquids of differing density. 

When that feeling hits you must act. 

Let me tell you if you don’t then you won’t

When you thought you would or could. 

I thought I could cup water for a while. 

I thought if I shook the bottle hard 

The oil wouldn’t float to the top.

But it’s too late and I can’t go back. 

Entropy and forward movement of time. 

All that. You know. 

It’s funny I see my judgement as sound 

In the moment, and how in retrospect 

I laugh at my ignorance once more. 

They say something about it being 20/20. 

That’s really all one can do when

Things come to pass though isn’t it? 

Laugh, and hopefully learn. 

You cannot recreate genuine 

Inspiration without its stimuli. 

You cannot go back and regain

What you once held and threw away. 

Entropy and forward movement of time. 

All that. You know.
