It seems to me,
That recently,
Words denote my life.
They surround me,
Confound me,
And rebound upon me
If I am not quick
To tie them down.
It seems they won't behave,
However much
I rant and rave
And wave my pen around.
I place them upon my desk
In orderly rows,
Which only goes
To show
How careful I am.
But will they remain still,
Until I am ready for them?
Oh no!
Off they go,
On their merry way,
As if they're the ones
In charge today.
So, what's the result
Of these chaotic words?
They truly make me
Look absurd,
The phrases I tried
To send to you,
Both beautiful, and true,
Have turned to mush,
As if I rushed them.
So maybe I must start again,
And write just ten lines per stanza,
Instead of twelve.
