An Inconsistent Contradiction of Paradoxical Dissonance

I was told to write a poem, but that's not how it works. A poem has to write itself, one cannot force the words.. This seems like contradiction, but really it is not. As when I began to think about it the words came on the spot.. You can't make me write a poem, it'll happen in its time. Don't think that you've succeeded at pulling out a rhyme. Let me wipe off that expression of smugness from your face. This will never happen again, poems have their time and place.. Poetry is not a given, even with a muse. Words have their own freedom to happen as they choose. So offer me a topic for my next poetic verse. And I'll show you once again that no one forces words..
