Unwritten Poems

The soundless rhythm of my hidden thoughts
Punctuates my strides on the unfeeling ground,
The chorus of my countless unwritten poems
Have a place in my private recesses found.

I feel a poem in the chirruping of the keen sunrise bird
And another in the sickening brutality of heartless men,
A couple of verses in the little-noted burials of great souls
And endless sonnets in the mystic things beyond my ken.

Well done, Hannington. I wish we had the ability to store those unwritten thoughts until we can write them. The words get jumbled together before we can and too often a thought is so fleeting it gets away and is forgotten. I like this one a lot.
