at times I fear one day I will go the well
try to draw a fresh bucket of inspiration
but the poetry will have dried up
a victim of drinking too much, I fear
my ideas might be finite, prone
to the dessication that comes
when you stack years into a tall pile
exposed to the elements teetering in the wind
should I worry about maturation
that dying spark that can wither on the vine
the noncompliance of fresh vegetables
that feel you've neglected their well being
oh well ....( pun intended )
if this is my last act of being clever
at least let me go out with some kind of explosion
allow me a really great week of heirloom poetry to savor
should I be worried about this thinking.....nah,... hell
Ive got me a divining rod, don't like to brag about it
or anything, but I'm a an ancient dowser from virginia
got a forked stick lodged in my head
once I locate the new liquids I'll dig
an artesian ink well, tap into a new cache
of cold filtered ideas and poetry will rain down
like lovestruck hash oil, struck by an old prospector
with a mad look in his eye
a tar-taped mattock in his hands swinging at the air,
a leather-necked wildcatter spitting new prayers....
the spewing of words on yellow paper
spewing on yellow paper
spewing on yellow paper

you may end up where you are heading

Re: spewing on yellow paper
Sorry saw, your abilities and your gift are far from spew and you're stuck with it to the end, I'm sure of it. 

Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.

I concur with mingo
And above me the stars align
But not yet with my own
And the night birds sing
Whilst the demon haunts this restless soul.

Re: spewing on yellow paper
some people's empty wells
are often runneth overs for others
words work in strange ways
But I know what it's like to wonder when I'll simply shut up, permanently
