Wanderlust

I sailed upon my blank empty notebook,

On a globetrotting adventure that I undertook.

My pen bled and became the deep treading sea

As I pondered and wondered what I ought to be.

I am the scribe of a sprouting sick story,

Eagerly crossing, dotting, and wording in glory.

Bobbing along the inked savage sea,

I pondered and wondered what I ought to see.

The ink sea settled and steadily subdued.

My notebook was full and all the lines were blued.

An idea for a story had written itself just for me.

Yet I still wonder and ponder what I ought to be.

It's pretty curt...

I like your use of form to portray the idea of movement and travelling, it adds a visual aspect that strengthens the underlying concept

Thank you! I appreciate your review. 'Twas my intention, haha. (:

This is really cool; my favorite phrase in this is "the inked savage sea" and I really enjoyed the repetition of the last line in each stanza. Perhaps it's because I understand the feeling behind the poem, but this is definitely one of my favorite poems I've read on this site. Or perhaps it's just because I understand it--there are so many poems on this site that give the impression of being deep and meaningful yet really there is just no understanding them. Makes me appreciate this all the more, thanks :)

Thank you for reading and understand the meaning behind the poem, mate! I appreciate that. And I concur with the fact that some people write simply to write with no further meaning to their work. Thanks once again!
