I Spit Fire

In my mind there is a poetic spark Illuminating words that were in the dark When I put pen to paper it starts to blaze My syllables are on fire as I kindle my phrase Fiery words race through my mind As conflagration of thoughts combine A liquid thought attempts to put out the fire But it's too weak to extinguish my burning desire Then like a volcano my stanza erupts My words are red hot please don't interrupt I'm in rhyme mode and I cant stop A free verser intrudes but is quickly burnt up My final couplet flows with the lava down to the sea Smoke rises from my pen, my poem set free
