Words across my mind float,
dancing through my imagination,
oh how I am stirred by the words of
Poe,Dickinson and Frost,
with their immortal words upon my mind,
I sit down at my desk to write,
their dark words and light phrases my mind inspires,
greater understanding of life they give,
yet the words they will not come to me,
for those great poet's words cloud my mind,
how I wish that I could write like that.
A poem I wrote in Rhetoric and Composition in college.It was a class that inspired me to start writing after a long departure from writing poetry.
