Spur Of The Moment Poet

*i think* i wrote this a year ago...might've been two.

 

Coffee stained pages
with lipstick smuges
written with a broken piece of
tarred black charcol
eyes set on perfecting
something that can't be perfected
sour smell of the breath
after just waking up
more sour than the night before
smile so fake, yet
even we can't tell
it paints a picture of words
unheard words that were
uttereing softly from those lips
the eyes old and tired
losing the once burning fire
those smiling lips slowly
frowing upon the page
in a notebook...
the life of a spur of the moment poet
trying hard to meet a deadline
once true to words
is so unfulfilled.

Deep so deep, I really enjoyed this poem. I write alot of my stuff (words) on whatever I can find when inspired at the spur of the moment... even paper napkins! You did a great job on the arrangement and I like how you used the text in different colors...your an awesome writer... so please keep amazing us with more poetry! Keep writing!! (-:

I like the calm yet antsy or uncertain and known feeling of this poem. It's confusing but easy to understand if that makes any sense! lol
I really like the details and the atmosphere.
Excellent write!

Great read. I loved this poem. Makes me think about the times when inspiration's struck and I'm caught empty handed, struggling to find something, ANYTHING to write with and on. Loved it. Great job.
