17 Inches

sometimes it hard to even try 
to put into words how I feel 
so I write you poems that will thrill 
your mind 
take you on a journey , this mystical 
tour of my mind ,heart and soul 
it sometimes takes its form in a 
haiku , love , nature , dark , free verse 
and a rhyme. 
nothing held back 
even the pen gets its work out 
the blue lines always wait 
and wants the ink to deliver 
it from the blank 
it takes 17 inches 
to fill those lines 
that is the distance 
from my head to my 
heart
