Tiny, little mind filled with such fantastic thoughts,
swirling ‘round and ‘round all day.
Making thinking slow, don’t want to lose the thought.
Must write it down before it goes away.
It rhymes! I love it. And it tells exactly how I feel.
I must put it to paper. I so don’t want it lost.
It bounces off my scull until I have released it.
I must find pen and paper at all cost.
Written down, it sometimes is quite humble.
Then again, it roars and stands alone.
I am somewhat amazed that I can do it.
I feel a humble power before unknown.
I write poetry because I want to.
I write poetry because I have to.
I write poetry because it has to be let out.
I write poetry because I can.
There is no one who is more humble,
sometimes in the most arrogant of ways,
than a poet.

The flow is completely off, it does not make much sense, and what the purpose is, i have no idea. Things just do not make sense. For example "There is no one more humble sometimes in the most arrogant of ways, than a poet." That makes no sense. Before you dive into making a rhyming form, make sure it is senseable to other people. You do not have to listen. I can not spell worth a damn but I don't care.
I am using tough love. The individual thoughts were insipring, unique and impressing. I did enjoy reading it and it was the perfect lengthwhich is not always easy. The title is also creative. Keep writing... I'll keep reading.

Well, lady, the flow is off a little on this one. But it says so much. I know about that power. When your muse hits you square in the brain with a poempie, It feels GOOD.

LOVELY!!!!
I know for me I just need to let out some thoughts or feelings and they seem to come much easier through writing than any thing else.
