My poetry workshop

Staring sheet of paper awaits my poetic compose
Wandering mind scrambling subjects in various dose
Sinking sun help me find the starting phrase
Words my comrades, rally round this thinking phase

Houdini, strike me a poem from the very thin air
Bridge the head with a catalyst pictorial flare
Select topic! The mind of thinking valleys
Metaphors, idioms! You will be in my poetic alleys.

Mirage of the twilight zone, the optical elaboration
Marriage of the horizon, an enduring sensation
Auditory earth sounds, the symphonic collaboration
Perfect poetic atmosphere! Where is my poetic hallucination?

Winding day! Spreading darkness blinding the poet within
Emotions and thoughts! Yet to find their poetic inn
Cheering failure pledge poetic judgment as the next day arose
Staring sheet of paper awaits my poetic compose
