poems written on the fly

wait … wait … there’s something …

There’s something
I want to say

but just can’t
get it to come out
right

This urgent feeling
that needs expressing

Don’t know it’s name
or where it comes
from

not even sure
how to go about
getting it out

Like a mad pinball
rattling around
in my soul

Perhaps I just need
to let it roll

(D. James)


  1. This sounds like the trouble I’ve been having lately. I’ve also found my recent poems to reflect on that very dilema.
