Poetic Alchemy

I’m trying to write new poems

And new poetic forms

I’m trying to write my usual gems

While breaking all the norms.

I like the challenge it brings

And the way it pushes my mind

Writing about all sorts of things

No two are the same kind.

Stretching as I try

To contort to all the rules

Feeling my brain fry

As I utilize my tools.

I never know what I will write

Until I reach the very end

With styles, I am an alchemist tonight

As I feel my creativity bend…
