Threw this together for National Poetry Day. In its raw state but I think its appropriate. Happy Writing Poets!!
The first time
the feeling is alien
yet trusting
it stews for days
determining a plan
an attack
of feelings and truth
crawling up inside
fighting to be expressed
and then…
a simple act
a sharpened pencil
blank piece of paper
releases an abundance
of phrases so eloquent
a feeling of awe
strikes you so perfectly
it all comes together
all thats left is a
smile.
