Inspiration

With white winter
waking up the weather
I take comfort in the quilt
that covered me as a child

In silver starlight
subconscious thoughts
stir something
in my spirit

Perhaps it's the perfect time
to find peace in my pen again
in place of paperbacks
I'll plough though piles of paper

An inkwell for the
inspiration of imagery
from fluffy friends
to fuzzy fiends

With ink I will write you
rolling rivers to rock you to sleep
revel in the romantic
raindrops while they dance

Let the waves
of cerulean water
wash over you
while you dream

As I pen a novel
like nothing before
a never ending love note
for no one but you

Medicated with music
my muse flows to paper
making my words
move at great speeds

Being too picky for calligraphy
Curling letters and crippled words
I scrawl clumsily
my shredded thoughts coming together

With the black night lurking outside
I bind your book
and bring it downstairs
just as the doorbell rings

I'm aware that my new arrival
is the amazing you
but apathetically I leave
your book obviously out in the open

Greeted by a kiss
You kindly creep into my heart
and cling to my hands
clasping a ring onto my finger

  Eyes open in awe
Expecting this I was not
  But ironically enough
my intentions for writing
  were to inspire your love
for a life with me

in my spirit

    You did an awesome job with the wordbank provide. Some amazing imagery, very beautiful:

    Let the waves
    of cerulean water
    wash over you
    while you dream


    You are very talented!

    waking up the weather
    I take comfort in the quilt
    that covered me as a child"

    Wow! You have really told a story with this one. I have seen alot of wordbank contests before but I don't think that I have ever seen one use all of the words from a large list. Thanks for sharing, best of luck in your contests.

    Forgiveness is unnecessary. You have forged a masterpiece. ^_^
    Your alliteration was awesome...masterful in some instances. And based on your author notes, this poem came to you as mine do...it starts with just one line or stanza, and your mind began to build the rest. ^.^ It is that very reason that I enjoy writing from word banks, myself.

    Excellent work. It'll be hard to compete against this one.
