Poem

I could write a poem
            if I wanted

But who wants to write that way-
                          All tense and tight
                          Too much emphasis on precision and meaning

When what I feel is a whirlwind     a jumble     a mess
                                 No good words to describe this mood
                                                                             Made up of a hundred different moods

I don't want to feel this way-
                       All tense and tight
                       With too much hanging on the words I use

I will write a poem
And hope that tomorrow I don't feel this way
