Poet Haunt

When you are half asleep and laying in bed, processing.

Whatever, and a sentence STRIKES! As if can hear it aloud.

Or do unintentionally say it aloud at that moment..

Will you get up and write it down?

When talking, maybe walking and a poignant word sequence emerges.

From your lips. And say WOW! Possibly even get the tingles.

Will you trust yourself to remember it, or write it down?

This is hereby coined- “Poet Haunt.”

They come to you. Sometimes repetitively, seemingly.

Demanding to be written. It is a beautiful curse.

As once they realise you are a poet, they WILL NOT STOP!..

The cost of ink and paper and time in serving them.

Is why poets are poor and otherwise unproductive.

You know the list of titles is there.

But still serve the fresh inspirations first. It does not end.
