Writing Frenzy

No theme in mind!
No muzzle on this
mad-dog night!
Got to let the words fall--
a Niagara of inspiration,
joining in a 
bottomless splash of phrases,
frothing at the lead-tip.

Rules?
What rules
when it comes to 
Free-will poetry!
A rabid sense of 
urgency
biting its way
between
then across
all ruled lines.

Lathering and sweating
is common;
cool down if you must,
but the best 
boast ardent writers,
come with ravenous rush!

So true Joe, sometimes the words come pouring out and other times you worry more about the "form" of the poem than anything!:)

Thank you so much for the positive feedback; I can't imagine any writer feeling differently about the glorious process of writing. It is like the birth of a universe.
