Poems I Never Wrote

On most days when I sit to write Perhaps a rhyme or just a quote Some words flowing without a fight Some are poems I never wrote I write about the things I know The images that rise and float But haunting are the seeds I sow Detailed in poems I never wrote Compose the promise that one day I’ll finish strong, I make a note But hidden words I want to say Are in the poems I never wrote The chances that I dare to take Protected by my writer’s vote I hide behind the rhymes I make In the poems I never wrote

unfinished poems is what it seems to be that you are referring to. I very rarely leave my poems unfinished but I know some friends who simply do not finish all their poems. Good work on this writing challenge, Andy
