My Poems Write Themselves

words give a lively dance
not staying on the lines of the paper
or in left to right order
or even down the page order
letters are flinging onto the page in every direction
I just saw a crazed T jump onto a Z's back
C stuck out her tongue and two ran off to tattle
the verbs decide to outdazzle the adjectives
racing, chasing, facing, macing, spacing,
These wild wonderful words are excited and joyful
I happily give up the reins
leaning back in my chair
allowing yet another poem to write herself
as every good poem does

Hello Carn, you forget who wrote the poem! I would call that your muse. With you helping along the way. Hugs.

The strange thing is - the second it hits the page I forget who wrote it, so maybe it is not me at all
