Poetry
 Where details dance on blank pages
 And cramp like arthritis ridden hands
 
 Like the sweet tune of a songbird 
 Where words drip from the tip of my tongue,
 I glue the jagged puzzle pieces of my mind together
 To form flowing lines within sticky stanzas
 
 A Poem
 Like a lovely bouquet of daisies
 Brought to you by me
 A sorrowed writer 
 Whose words weep
 And stutter upon the page
 Anticipating you to read 
 
 I write words of yesterday
 For the stories never end
 Now you see inside my head
 A vision that lies somewhere between
 A world of blissful imagination, 
 And an unbearable wrath of dread
 
 The Beauty of words
 Something not commonly understood
 So take my hand and I can guide you
 To the land before books
 Where the first written verses
 Were messily written poems
 
 How could you not be inspired?
 With some blank paper and a ball point pen
 With a mind so young like mine
 I can conquer anything that crosses my path.
 
 Now my notebook pages are ink splattered
 With my heart and mind
 So lick nimble fingertips 
 And flip the page one more time
