Knocked Out a Poem

I train my body, every second day 
rest of the time, stretch my mind 
Pumping iron, playing heavy metal 
adds more weight, depth to rhyme 

Hitting a punchbag, lets off steam 
jabbing hard, tightly packed foam
Burning calories, fires up my brain 
honed thoughts, will create a poem

Imagination stirs, no holds barred
muse unlocking, finding portal key
Tonight sky’s the limit, ready to roll 
brain has other ideas, I fall asleep.

Brandy Nicole Date: 2/17/2021 7:43:00 PM "Imagination stirs, muse unlocking" However, "I fall asleep" Sounds about right. Your brain got tired, after all that working out and heavy metal music. This is cute, clever and very creative. Your thoughts bring a smile. :) Brandy Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 2/17/2021 11:35:00 PM Thanks again Brandy for looking in, its all so true, usually I’m fired up after a workout, poems can come easy, but sometimes if I don’t capitalize on the active muse, and wait to write in bed, well games over, cheers David

Panagiota Romios Date: 2/17/2021 11:20:00 AM A good, well written verse. Pangie. Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 2/17/2021 12:30:00 PM Thanks Panagiota, enjoyed putting in the sleep bit, when writing poems in bed, the pillow seems to win, cheers David

Jan Allison Date: 2/16/2021 1:08:00 PM wish my brain would fall asleep lol but the muse takes over. love the wit here David:-) hugs jan xx Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 2/16/2021 2:09:00 PM Most of the time a good workout and metal music sets me up, giving me ideas, but this particular night the muse just wanted to be left alone, and went asleep, cheers David

Andrea Dietrich Date: 2/16/2021 12:45:00 PM haha. You were gaining such momentum there and ended up sleeping. Nice humorous touch at the end!!
