Backwaters of My Mind

Soulful secrets and sorrowful sighs silently stoke smoldering embers of inspiration; into full flame. A murmuration of fledgling words rise on poetic wings; to digest the very essence of the moment. And as they morph into metaphors hyperbole and prose, they inject order into rows of rambling lines. Thoughts ricochet off of each other, often landing in a jumbled heap until your muse assigns them a place. Committing rhythm and rhyme to paper the semblance of a poem takes shape, adding flesh and sinew to bare bones. And ink flows in and out of chaos, salvaging verses before they drown within the backwaters of my mind. (Blank Verse) 3/10/2015 01/23/23 '2022 Poetry Marathon Mile 25' Sponsor, Mark Toney
