Poetic Fountain

Skein poetic weaves life's leaves.  Flash wink
Turns think through ink to stage fulfilling page
As insight mixes music, words wild, sage.
No Tao is tainted that cues tone-true link
Descriptive and instructive, scanned in sync.
Although some self-styled poets feel form's cage,
Review Stravinsky's words, all doubts assuage.
Deny blank prose poetic rose crown.  Drink
Pierian deep, sip not lip-service brink,
Or compensate for feelings trapped to wage
Ego war against injustice guaged,
To ease maimed spirit's claims of unfair stink.
In rhyming fountain free, fresh progress make,
Craft well, rewrite, reword from second take.

Poetic inspiration must supply
Open sourced resourcefulness, may not
Exist in half-light.  Cut rut's gordian knot
That holds back harmony from inner eye.
Insidious compromise can't satisfy
Creative impulse that rejects as blot
Secondary lot where, half forgot,
Tired lines block, lock life's vista, dreams deny.
All hesitation acts out living lie
None should accept to temper daily rot,
Dread time-trap snapped shut once one bolt is shot.
Aloft soar, draw from intuitions, fly !
Read much, hunch heed, rise from rant's rubbish vent,
Dare to revise, creative dance invent.

"The more constraints one imposes, the more one frees oneself of the chains that shackle the spirit... the arbitrariness of the constraint only serves to obtain precision of execution." Igor Stravinsky

    Interesting and deep. The imagery is wonderful. It's nice to see someone really put some thought and time into a poem. Thanks for entering and good luck.
