That Which Fuels Us Poem by Matthew Holloway

Be it drink or drugs
Music or a picturesque scene
The sound of birds, children laughing
Desires of the flesh
Or a social statement

We all have those fuels
Which kick start the poetic fire
have us write and write and write
It's a cause and effect situation

We can call to a protest
Or sing out a loves devotion
Tell a tale of a life lived
Or cry tears upon the page

Emotion is a barbed flower
That grows inside us all
Feed it well and it will bloom
Fill our soul with poetry

Our air, sun and soil
Is different to each and all
Yet it brings us here as poets
That which fuels us
