Poetic Creation

It sometimes amazes me how a seed of inspiration is translated into poetic 
composition............... 



Words bubbling 
like molten lava 
and flowing down a 
mountain of creativity. 

Ideas flashing into 
consciousness, like 
comets in the night sky, 
begging for durability. 

Imagination simmering 
in a cauldron of creation, 
par-boiled, and waiting 
patiently for deliverance. 

Verbs verbalised. 
Nouns nurtured. 
Similes simpatico. 
Metaphors metathetical - 

all awaiting translation 
into metrical form:- 
be it iambic verse, rhyme 
or sultry sonnet. 

An onslaught of inspiration 
clambering for attention. 
Poetic invention born of 
imaginative progression. 

Wondrous words! 
Artistic expression. 
Scintillating syntax. 
A palette of calligraphy .... 

Words bubbled down 
my mountain of creativity. 
I have survived the 
onslaught of fecundity. 

Creation created. 
Imagination captured. 
Ideas apprehended. 
Job done!
