The Course of a Poem
A pencil, a notebook,
A random reflection
Determine the course
Of a poem, its direction.
The words hop on board
Heading hither and yonder
While thoughts make decisions
To settle or wander.
Ideas tumble down
Joining rhythm in moving
As verses flesh out,
Sometimes dancing and grooving.
The final result, whether
Failed or successful,
Is like an elixir
For soothing the stressful.
