Writing Poems

How amazing would it be
 if the pencil severed from the tree
found leaded gas stored in that carbon cylinder
 number two with script self administered.

Paper and pen, they blend.

The mind and thinking process though
 seems held back, hindered, lost and slow.
The key strokes on the other hand
 slip slide and mix poetic words hidden, crammed.

Wait and hold, poems will unfold.

It appears at night
 that word and phrase finally alight
desperate to be displayed and flow
 light and quick as falling snow.

Poise and listen, new poems will soon be written.
