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
