An Entire Mire

An Entire Mire

Found poem in my mind in an entire mire
It never had any desire to try and expire
And in my three fingers poem appeared
Before twilight of life I feared ever neared.

Was brilliant beginning of a writing career
That appeared before me exactly right here
Might forget poem so better write it down
Or in pity and sorrow I may start to drown.

Confounded with confusion what should I do?
After pulling another poem out of the blue
It was then I finally concluded and realized
Materialized poem had to be further analyzed.

Where was best place for me to begin and start
Write words down and then tare them apart
As usual was not what I ever was intending
Had bad beginning, body and terrible ending.
