Impulse, desire, obsession,
the need for self-expression,
release for words out of control,
vehicle for mind on the roll,
open door for swirling thoughts in the mind,
for assembling gems for others to find.

Whim, urgency, necessity
inclination, pressure, propensity,
platform for opinion political,
inspirational or even radical,
open stage to state what is on one's mind,
rousing discussion with readers to find.

Perfection, pleasure, diversion,
creation, explanation, aspiration.
Whatever the reason, there's call for rhyme
as poets mark their space in time.
Imagine where all those minds go to dream,
to conjure, measure meter, or even to scream.
Perhaps it might be empty space in the sky,
views to the heavens, places to question why,
spaces to bounce the mind around,
no need to be architecturally sound.

A convention in the sky, searching for peaceful places,
perhaps driven by impulse, desire, obsession.

The convention, an extension of thoughts expressed
