Here’s an old one I just found in a drawer.
Creativity Bottle
If only I could pry the cork
from this Creativity Bottle,
beached on the shores
of laziness.
I’d suck this bottle dry,
gobble down the passion,
create art until I cry, from–
bulging tear ducts:
inkwells waiting till
all’s well
or
all’s hell
when words’ll sell me
a free ticket
to poetic paradise:
immersed in sunny verse
ocean sounds with crashing nouns
adjectives align with voluptuous verbs
pouring through poetic pores
cramming this Creativity Bottle
for the next dear friend
pleading for some inspiration.
