Two Poems In One

Sometimes the words want to have their say
No matter the feelings of the poet on the subject

Sometimes, in the dark of night or the too bright sun of the morning,
The verse reverses

Sometimes fingers freeze in agony
Only to thaw in ecasty later in the evening

Sometimes a small break will come 
And collapse all the hard work that has been done

Sometimes the trap springs too soon
And writers are left in the corner they've created

Sometimes it is all for naught 
And nothing changes

Sometimes

And then the time arrives when epithany takes empathy by the hand
Showing her a grand old time
And the two become eternal friends
Laughing in the faces of the disapproving muses
