Loved to write as far back as memory goes
Without any thought for a verse to compose
Poetic expressions of innate creativity
So admire the effect and it's sensitivity
Words dive straight to heart like an arrow
Flying through sky piercing at point narrow
Each word so concise of fit and precise
Like a pearl sliding on a stringing device
Tucked in heart the mysterious emotions
Blossoming in the beauty of linguistic notions
Somewhere along the line few thoughts
Started to sprout upon the surface of mind
Needing words for quick expression
Before sinking fast in deep regression
As I attempted to catch those fireflies
Free form for novice was an easy choice
Reading and writing like twin sisters juxtapose
Wandering together in thicket of versification
For a long time my notebook was
A private garden for me to venture
Eventually it was shared by likewise minds
Enjoyed and scrutinized from expert eyes
Now I realize the constraint of writing
With proper rhythm, meter and rhyme
Framing a single thought in mot-juste
For a poetic flow sonorous and dulcet.
Choosing a sonnet or sestina for rhetoric
Lyric, limerick or verse is a tough query
Inventing a metaphor or picking from mythology
To keep secret and covert pain's methodology
Poetry! You intrigue me with your curves and contour
Like a gypsy beauty yodeling with her songs and lore
There lies a world of subtle revelation and intuition
To call upon muses and follow the inspiration.
