The Draft

The draft blows onto his page
A poet in his early stage

He burns with sage
It's so new age
But he'll try anything

These games of words
This spell of spelling 

Anything. 
To stop his mind yelling 

Thoughts lack their form
Prison sentences caged 

Punishment 
They won't conform 

Mind races
He must use what he has

Was this good enough he wonders
Was this good enough to count?

He is stuck in a soup of poems
And may never get out.
