Not a Moment Too Soon

I did a little reading,
 scanned the poetry of others bleeding;
okay, I did a lot
 many hit the spot,
You know the one with hope
 where everything you wrote
is not near as good as those you read
 not even the random thought in your head;
a smile, a laugh, a gathering of tears
 took me back in time to better years
that spoke the words poetic
 written on the page to bloom rejected
then finally some inspiration
 not a moment too soon.

This is very inspired not to mention highly enjoyable. Of course, I related but I was also delightfully entertained about those bits that resonated, '... not as good as ..' - those ones. A joy to read. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
