Some Days the Poem Writes You

Some days you're thrown an I just don't know
Other days it's all right there
A glimmer of hope in which to cope
A fresh breath of poetic air

A constant loop as the dial slowly moves
In its never ending search for the truth
Some days you write the poem 
Some days the poem writes you

From the ups and downs to the toss arounds
All  grate on a soul in time
But what's growing there inside your despair
Can pour forth in the perfect rhyme

Some days you find the inner light
Others you have no clue
Some days you write the poem 
Some days the poem writes you

You can be more or less inspirationaless 
Then your pen flairs with the finest finesse 
The point that you make either blows them away
Or what you have to say is anyone's guess

Holding onto the theme of your color scheme 
Being the brightest of hues
Some days you write the poem
Some days the poem writes you

Fabulous poetry. I notice that 'an' reads better than 'and' or 'n-contraction in a poem.
