Rhythm's bountiful cascades
cleanse poetic spirit,
bathing it, in soothing drops
of mystic epiphany,
dipped, in moments
of magical clairvoyance.
A poet's debt to cosmic muses
quench the papyrus' thirst,
as quills throb,
with ravishing waterfalls
of spirited symphonies.
Abundance, in creative serenades
weave magic, in ever-growing scrolls
of inspiration's golden touch.

Thank you:f

Not bad... I guess the prompt was enough hint. The only thing I'd remark from the poem is that the language you used there almost sounded artificial.

Too much...just say what you mean, I think you may be trying too hard....

Thanks for the suggestion, I was saying exactly what I wanted to say, but I guess a poem means different things for different people. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment..
