Search For Poetry

I watch the curling smoke
rising from my cigarette
my mind’s flat broke
my creative spirit begins to fret
    sipping my hot coffee
    listening to the cold rain
    wishing something would inspire me
    and end this poet’s strain
I start jotting down words
and random gibberish phrases
most no one’s ever heard
extracted from my mind’s hazes
    but I really need to write
    something that’s worth reading
    locked in a brutal fight
    come on, pen start bleeding!

Your pen it seems is never at a loss for something creative and so worth reading. Your poems are always something I look forward to.

Alas, poor poet, the pen bleeds through the heart of the poet
