Hello, Poetry

Sometimes when I'm able, I sit down at my table, or better yet, instead, I'll lie back comfy on my bed, a pillow propped behind my head! Often at this time it is at night and I will think and try to write. Patterns I enjoy, like those in classic forms, and so I'll write perhaps a kyrielle or sonnet though sometimes I'll even give free verse a go! I settle on a certain length for my every line. Or maybe I'll decide this time uneven lines are fine! It might take a long while; then some sweet words in rhyme might start to come with the rhythm of a guitar's thrum. All I need is paper and my pen and my thoughts unfettered, for then I can call my muse to come to me! If she hastens with ingenuity, I can say, "Hello, Poetry."
