Alphabet Soup
Although I can’t write, I sometimes feel the
Benign rhymes flow through me like a
Cascading river running through the Amazon and me
Don’t want to sound unhumbled but subconsciously a part of me wants to be an
Effigy of a deity praised for my rhymes that
Flow like honey
Goddess of writing Seshat, divine scribe, writes through me
Holding my hand as the rhythm of the words scrawled on the paperus comes to life
I can’t write, but sometimes the spirits of Shakespeare and Poe flow through my being
Just as blood flows through the body
“Keris you can write” no, but sometimes I feel emotions of the characters portrayed in my stories
Like an out-of-body experience I feel, taste, touch, smell exactly what I scribble unto my pages
“Monday morning mourning the mildew growing mildly midway up the corpse”
Nobody can tell me I can write, but sometimes the rhymes are too good to resist:
Ocean, motion, lotion, commotion, potion
Pragmatically, you can’t tell me I can write, but the alliteration feels just too good to be true
Quivering quietly from fear, quickly, brows knitted like a quilt feeling queasy as quails
Resist the urge to emerge and splurge on that ohso perfect rhyme that hits that spot
Stubble, rubble, bubble, wubble, gubble, yubble
They don’t need to make sense, but as long as the words merge in a way that grooves to the beat
Utter and complete satisfaction is guaranteed
Valiantly, visually, a part of me is bound to see the vitality and possibilities of the English dialect
Well you can’t tell me I can write, but the poetry that flows in me is other-dimensionally
X marks the spot and y=mx+b is the formula to my heart, linear and absolute
Yea, so maybe I can write, but the rhymes and rhythms never come easy
“Zoom room boom, no no no” I stare blankly at my computer screen thinking of divine benign rhymes while absentmindedly stirring my alphabet soup

This piece is a representation of myself and my writing. I love to write, but sometime I feel like I can't-- like the writers block is more than that. This piece is really about my confidence in my writing, and the underlying message of how, even if my writing does suck sometimes, or I feel like I can't do it, in the end my writing is good enough. And if you think about it deeper, it more than just writing: it's about life and feeling like enough.
