How Not to Write Your Work

Hot off the meditation cushion, time for another beat-box self-reflective rant.

How Not to Write Your Work,
Could be How Not to Feel Your Passion,
See,
Like any lover you've ever touched,
There was will to guide the action.

I like the flavor of the Muses,
For to use it's concept
Adds depth to my meaning
See,
Like any relationship,
Human or divine,
If you stop communicating,
Brace for tragedy;

My finer works (said I, "Said He")
With all their quirks and mumblings
Were always found in coffee houses,
Like bending a beauty's ear.

Here, and amongst the mystic shrapnel,
(A capital description for my local location)
I find the work suiting a different sensation,
A begging, bartering, forcing, banal.

While it flowed from the wellfont,
It was moments of passion.
Actions of anticipation,
Sensations not lost.

Now, it's a barter,
A cramped old rotation,
"But come on, it's Wednesday"
"I know it is. Get lost."

And I, like the jerk,
Sit alone with my pencil,
Unable to coax out
Even a line.

And opposed to the follow,
Of jaded berzerking,
I sat with my hollows,
And asked myself why.

A muse, like a lover, needs careful
Attention.
The signs are all there, all they need
Is retention of focus,
And a little discretion.
You're not birthing the sun,
You're just writing it down.

And I, like a clown,
Have learned how to juggle
My pride and my focus;

As I reach to her gently,
And savor the sound.

Author's Note

yay, I wrote something else!
(and it may be crap, I accept the possibility)

Please please and always, comment freely.

This reads very naturally, a loose, jerky, rhyme is apparent, like a unique diary entry, when one writes with instant analysis, all kinds of perspectives which are exclusively yours, well done, that's all for now, see you some other time David, Adios

This is a much better review than I thought this one was going to get!
(I'm still casting my nets with poetry, seeing what works, sometimes by what works awkwardly)
