A poet’s fateful fatality
anxious mind casualty
A lost for words reality
When in all actuality
The blank page stole
the poet’s syllabic mentality

Free verse wouldn’t flow free
A pen became the poet’s enemy
With the thesaurus a lost of intimacy
no more meter second stress symphony
no more metaphoric synergy

what happened really?
old memories
of runaway love
drained the creative energy…
