How Poetry Comes To Me

How Poetry Comes To Me

Like a no-show

Makes me wait every time

A tease, giving me hints of the main-course,

Only to snatch them back

Like a well-placed shadow, making my spine tingle

A gentle caress, meant to calm

Like a rainbow, it eludes me

Its' colors hit me like humidity

Poetry slaps me in the face

And has the audacity to laugh

Runs away after flirting

With a carefree dance

Only when I catch it

Does it rock my soul

Leaves me gasping open-mouthed

And bright eyed

With no words left to speak

And a smile filled with victory

Or desperate despair

But I always laugh

For it comes splendidly

And leaves me filled with life every time






No one seems to want to review poetry. :( Come on, help me turn my frown upside down, *please?*
