The Right Words

The poet, having found his rhyme,
may sense a shiver down his spine,
cocooned within a rosy glow
exultant that his words now flow.
Emerging from his self-inflicted torture,
the best of words in the very best order.

Nice one Peter with fine rhyme and flow with good imagery too. Hope you're doing ok, it's mighty cold up here North of the border. Gordon

Hi Peter. There's nothing better for a poet than being in the right frame of mind to write. Writers' block, life and a lack of motivation for whatever reason can all get in the way. It's good to read you back at The Soup after recent events. Cheers - Gary
