Ph: Poetry Writing: Simple



A simple poem's what I write
For I am just a simple man,
Quite frequently they write themselves,
And most without a master plan.

A title sometimes leads the way,
A dream can also be my muse,
But mostly poems have their say
I'm just a vessel that they use.

I even find that rhyming words
Can clue me into what comes next,
Though just before I'd hit a wall,
Creative pow'rs break loose unvexed...

This word, this knight on brawny steed,
With mighty arm unseals my fate
And clears a path to promised land -
A poem that I'd love to date!

Enjoyed the poem! I think this is how many of us write with no master plan! Sometimes a title leads the way.... sometimes may be just a word or phrase. I liked the last stanza the most!
