Thought Ought Not Be Fought.

Thought Ought Not Be Fought.

Thought
ought 
not be fought
when poems 
are sought
inspiration is
not taught
it can't be bought
it's what you've got
and what you jot 
from what's brought
when an idea is hot
it is caught
in brainstorms 
a lot and seldom forgot

But like dot to dot
poems should all plot
a pattern 
that leads to 
a finished spot
not just some

 ink blots
that makes readers go 
"What!!"
if it makes no sense
it's Squat

Your thoughts 

hold tasks

in the present 

as well as the past

with some still 

in the future

you must be 

careful choosers

those who aren't

wind up losers

some folks are 

word abusers

the formula is 

quite simple

and it helps 

you to kindle

perfect writes 

from your mind

Think hard

and let it all 

flow easy

crafting something 

that's pleasing

teasing and appeasing

do

did

done
let your pen 
flow
in doses 
of 20 lines
per-script

per-scriptions

that bring relief

to the reader

wow them 

with imagery

never come at 

them timidly

make them feel 

all your misery

make them laugh

with persistency

help them 

remember vividly

all that you did

creatively

the word commentary

holds what you meant 

and one should 

always tarry over

each word that it contains

infest readers brains

with your brilliance
~
poems start with

inspir/ration
the inspired rations
of pure thought
only handed out 
to the most creative 
dreamers
who feast
on the contents
voraciously
~
love starts 

with a glance

a casual dance

till the birth of romance  

puts two souls in a trance

if they just take the chance
~
but Love ends with a scowl
leaving his and ??? towels
plus words that are foul
or a whimper..a howl
~
hateful 

is a bloated

mind full of

angst that 

incorporates all

of the tortures

of damnation

in it's girth
~
poetry has many 
branches
and leaves one
feeling 
the texture
of life's
emotional barks
~
Dream has a ream in it
a ream of paper
on which to express
your fondest 
nocturnal or daily
mental emissions
~
The alphabet
is gamble where 
poets take chances
when the chips are down
or when the
moment is righteous
~
fingers are what 
happens to an arm
when it disagrees 
with itself
~
pencils are worked 

across empty 

white spaces

by sharp minds

with cutting 

edge remarks

till they grow 

dull with 

scribblings
such as now
~

so
do 
did
done
Be
begin
begun
now 
as I 
end 
this
one.

and remember 

scatterbrained can be 

the dispersing of 

your finest thoughts

scattered to the masses

It does not have 

to mean stupid

So lift your pens

and open your minds

to all that awaits you

or pound on the keys

that start with 

QWERT and end

with VBNM

and use them 

and all that lies in 

between them

expressively.

It's not rocket science

but it is uplifting

and it can help 

you reach the stars
