Masterpiece by Alison Carter

A thought
Sparked in a second
It weaves it way into
The tissues of your brain
Flowing through each part
And reveals to you its idea

Your brain is its canvas
It paints quicker than the speed of light
Each brush stroke creating
A part of the whole picture

There is a time after and before
When you're waiting for the
Next thought to arrive
And complete the last

And then inspiration comes
Quick as lightning
A singeing, flaming fire
Consuming your every being

Your pencil goes down,
Scribbles down the piece of art
In urgency not to lose
The precious insight revealed

The minutes fly like seconds
As you finish, you step back
To view your work and realize
You've created a poem.

  1. Wow..! Lovely...! It left me dumbfounded! :D If only, though, I could write poems that fast... I normally either forget them quickly or end up messing up the poem with scattered thoughts. Anyways, very nice! ~Otdom P.
