A Poem’s Draft.

The skull empties its thoughts,

My heart transposes into word,

Let my pen dance and bleed,

Symbolic emotion is delivered.


A Romance, dream, reality collage,

Words float, come drifting ashore,

I paint them on blank sheets paper,

working until my brain is sore.


I don’t paint with words alone,

weave together style and structure

Diligently squeeze in deep emotion,

now let the words flow, tightly cluster


Enthusiasm no doubt a writer’s high!

An Inspirational release of my insanity.

Every day, a new expression arrives.

My favorites are becoming vanity!


A harsh realization in each new draft;

the only time I ever feel safe at home,

is when sitting with an empty notebook

music blaring, drafting a new poem.
