A Beautiful Tapestry

Words dance
On my pad
Stirring up
Their innocence

They spray about
Shapes so odd
Stick to the paper
And refuse to let go

They assemble in groups
And some drops get sprayed
And the words become a line

Wonderful

Maybe that’s what we call
Inspiration.

A thought from above

An assembly of letters
Characters
An Indian line of words
Rushing towards a point
In haste to fully stop.

Inspired inspiration

My muse
And I remain
Bemused

Until

I read

Scattered around
Them semblance of chef-d’oeuvre*

Perspired inspiration
That transpired
Inspired perspiration…

My head drops
The music stops

Scattered around
The embroidery
Of my unique tapestry

Were no more

Than a line of garbled nonsense

Author's Note

chef-d’oeuvre: Master piece

@ Christian, this is what you feel about some of my poems I would think... :)

One of my weaker poems for sure but which I like because it reminds me how at times I take my pen (or keyboard) and feel the need to write, but cannot come up with anything. And if I manage to scribble anything, it is nothing but some verbal diarrhea.

:)

A inspiration rises from the source of our mysteries and like a dream, sometimes points at something. Where we pursue it, we might find great rewards of discovery. Nothing is too small or unimportant. In aspiring, we do not already know, but open ourselves to discover.

I believe our inspiration comes from life experiences and circumstances that we go through. That's what makes us all unique. Good write!

Often.... hidden within the garbled chaos of our thoughts & words, is gem of great import.

to say this was as you said in your own words , Verbal Diarrhea . i found it good and certainley different because it felt you was breaking the fourth wall which you can't do as much in poems as books or whatever but you did in an interesting way .
i don't think it's one of your weaker poems , i think it's one of your best and to say it's Verbal Diarrhea apparentley , i found it somewhat good to read as there was a story to it inside and out but there wasn't at the same time . i think sometimes the poems that turn out not the way you want them too , or you just write for the saking of getting it out to please others or what not . can turn out to be the best but in this case , it seems you took a different direction , a welcoming one in my book which proves you can use different styles and unoriginal styles probably and make them your own . great job

Words can mean a lot to some. Some folks don't care. We need to write tapestry of words for the people who love language and words. I like the tale in the poem and the good ending. Thank you for a excellent poem.

I really understand what you meant here. for about a week now I have had writers block..... the inspiration that I usually have has come to a pause somehow. I think it all started when I tried to force myself to write...... to please others... to make a complex poem with words i did not understand. that is not my style. I write free style. i pick up my pen or computer and just let my words flow and so it goes. when i try to force it, it all comes to a halt....... now i have scribbled phrases and words that have come to mind Hope I can get back into it now...... your poem was so appropriate for me right now. well penned poem........

I like the (lighter side) of this poem. -Thanks for giving a glimpse of your thought process. A beautiful tapestry it is. :)

oh it happens all the time... you know what you want to write and you don't know how to express it in words... I don't think it was weak at all...you have portrayed the dilemma of this young man very effectively.... Good one.. :)
