spewing on yellow paper

[saw]

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

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.

I concur with mingo

[judih]

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

thanx for your kindness y'all.....not ready to pack it in yet, so I guess you guys are stuck with me
