The Day My Muse Ran Wild

One day my muse ran wild
Off on a tangent it did fly
Ranting, raving, rambling intense

I had no idea from whence 
it came
 But there it was flooding
The page

Never have I written such
 Ridiculous words never again
Do I want them to flow

I guess even the calmest 
Of souls must vent
That muse was tossed out
No one will ever see it

'Twas for my eyes only
That this pen did bleed
 Angry harsh words Flung about
Outside the construct of
Intelligent thought

Holding on sometimes to 
 Small things, it was one of
My many flaws

So after that muse I spewed
Long ago I determined within 
 To let the small things go

Once again my muse is happy
Once again my muse is tame
Because I do not sweat the 
 Small things so they no longer
Taunt my days
