I've three poems to write for Open Mic on Monday night But where to get the inspiration? How do I know what will sound right? I'll have to dig deep to find new words and sentences in my own time As well as making it matter and make sense to you But isn't too preachy whilst stood in the limelight Something that flows free And comes naturally In hindsight How do I change up the rhymes But keep my structure and flow tight What style am I wanting to deliver? Well, I want to really reach in to memories From which emotions are triggered But still keep some sort of restrain To tame all those scenes you'll envision Cos that's me at heart I'm all about subtlety When using specific words and wisdom as art But I'm not a master yet I've still got lots more learning to do I'm still yearning for you To give me feedback So if I talk crap And it sounds whack Tell me to stop and rethink I can always backtrack Cos I've got a passion for language Which at times is demanding When I can't seem to get what I want on a page I'll sit and think for ages Even when there's no sunlight To break through the haze Only by emptying my thoughts Can I navigate this inner maze So let me now share with you How I've written words in cursives How I've arranged every word So these verses feel furnished Full of purpose And meaning That enter your chest Just off left So you physically feel What I'm revealing Giving life to meaning And now I've started I'll finish Cos I'm fully committed That's one poem down 2 more left to envisage I hope you enjoyed this Simple musing I've written
