Devin Croteau Poet Rhyme

All My Inspiration

Forced to visit all my fear -
In pursuit of inspiration.
But through collection all I hear -
Is I'm not long for aspiration.

Through careful words and softened voice -
I could reduce evaporation.
But do I trust subconscious choice -
With all my liberation?

That argument could give me face -
To point that accusation.
If it flees I'll have to chase -
And risk dissociation.

In looking for some clarity -
I could brave that isolation,
Gamble with fate for sanity -
And a chance at satiation.

Though with these words I must confess -
It's hardly a vacation.
I'm spawning thoughts that can't digress -
Months after observation.

In the end my mind will flood -
These words are precipitation.
My hope is it can wash the blood -
From my mental amputation.

This is so beautifully written and presented. My best to you, Devin. ~ Brandy Devin Croteau March 29, 2025 at 6:21 PM My sincerest thanks to you. I truly appreciate your kind words! And you're absolutely right! This poem took a few days, late nights, and several journal entries to fully unpack and explore and I am happy with the outcome!
