Venturing Out

Writing poetry is like marching to a 
marvelously lyrical band.
With guidance of the muse, he surprises with comings 
through the pen in your hand.

With all this juggling and jangling, hopefully 
comes streams of wonderous thought,
not unlike visiting the candy store and 
savoring a favorite just bought.

Proud of the sustenance your musings
worked so hard to provide,
hoping the reader won’t think 
you’ve really not tried.

Finished nourishing a myriad of reveries, 
first one then  another.
 Parading now over, quickly run home 
to the eternal safety of your mother.
