Plunk Plick Plat Splat

Plunk plick plat splat
The drip of faucet compels me to 
Throw down a few notes
Words I had not thought of six seconds before

Cardinals and sparrows 
Twittering and chittering
I listen hard, capturing nothing 
Yet inspired by everything.

My subconscious grabs these sounds
Work on them as I slumber 
Astral travel my go-to-place
As my muse sings what she finds funny

We wake up suddenly
A helicopter of a mosquito
Dive bombs me
Urging me to write of my killing ways

I pick up a pen
Dashing down an inky path
in a notebook full of everything
and nothing, twisting me with crazy ideas

Shiny thoughts, dark ideas,
Whimsical dragons, laughing at my silliness
Leading me down paths with their plunks plicks plats and splats
