Undressed Poetry

I write songs without a tune...
                               You hear my words like crashing balloons...
                                I had a tug of war with sounds and notes...
                         As my words lie naked in the pocket of my coat...
                       The volume control is missing but a beat is still found...
                      And soon my undressed poem danced to its own sound...
