A poem about writing poems

Once upon a time

In a world full of rhyme

I made a poem

With the jumbled words of mine

I walk on a thin path

Only with grief and wrath

I tumbled and fell

Sometimes in holes or sometimes in hell

No light to be seen

The poem was thin

Since I lost so much vocabulary

When I fought the demon of memory

I walked, rested and then walked again

I got lost so many times in this mind game

Hopeful about my own creation of line string

I felt like birthing the spring

Flower wreath on my head

As I joyfully read

The poetry I created

With my heart instead
