The Creative Process
Writing just for the sake of writing alone
Will never appear as sincere
Should be spontaneous free flowing verse
Simple rules with which to adhere
You'll soon experience the creative passion
Flowing unimpeded through your veins
Soaring to the heavens on a gentle zephyr
Feelings of exaltation will reign
No other words describe it so simply
Just write when the feelings surge
A simple prompt and off to the heavens
Reacting to the signs that urge
To the uninspired I offer condolences
Can't imagine a life without rhyme
A rudderless ship cast adrift on the ocean
Oblivious to a world so sublime
So writing for the sake of writing alone
Sure won't appear as sincere
Hopefully the urge will hit you one day
You'll know this passion I hold dear
