Writing

With my thinking cap on
sometimes too tight
restricting thoughts
or words to write.

Inside my head
a jumbled mess
frustration reins
I must confess.

The words must rhyme
or maybe not
a stitch in time
solutions sought.

Paper drafts
lay everywhere
of idea's cast off
for which I did not care.

Much time is given
for words just right
a poem well written
is now in sight.

The stage is set
time to prepare
with words arranged
I now can share.
