Carol Mitra Poet Free verse

Thoughts

This invisible being has come 
alive inside my mind
She roams freely
thoughts and me entwined
Tossing and turning 
she puts me into a bind
Looking for things that she can find
I’ll give her this, she’s behind 
my poetry, this mastermind
She refuses to lift a finger
And often springs to mind
And at times she’s certainly not too kind
She has feelings which she often ties
around my neck like a noose
And takes offence, if I don’t think
And sulks when I refuse
I dare not falter, she has a short fuse!
