Inspiration

Into my mind the letters chase All jumbled up, scrabbling for space Like naughty children in a race To see who gets the better place And who’s to choose from that melee And set them where they ought to be We hope the Muse will soon INSPIRE With words to set the brain afire

this is one heck of a poem.-------- I officially subscribe to your ingenious wordplay melee today. Enhancing waves in brains tomorrow, eliminating sorrow each and everyday. ------The hot fire you've prescribed heals my painful condition. Inspiring me with the firing of your scrabbling ammunition! ---Maybe I will add to this and make it a special poem about YOU! This poem is a new favorite of mine , WITHOUT a shadow of a doubt! A top notch SEVEN my friend!
