My Fight To Write

by PhauxShaux

So You Want To Be A Writer?
'Better Have The Prowess of A Prizefighter.
When The Punches Are Thrown
and 
Flows Have Flown... 
After Try, 
After Try,
After Try,
Poetry Pouring Freely
Will Wither 
Not Come Hither
Without Practice
Of Keeping Mind,
Spirit and Craft Active.
'Don't Get Behind,
Seeking Validation,
Lounging Upon Laurels of Yesterday's Creations.
'Scrounging for A Crust of Verse;
Rhythms and Rhymes Once Rehearsed
Must Remain Nursed,
Not Damned Nor Cursed.
No Need To Be A Pygmalion
Of Vocabulary Sesquipedalian.
Keep It Simple.
Keep It Flowing.
Keep It Nimble.
Keeping Growing,
Knowing...
...Low and Behold!
...For-Shizzle!
'Don't Put Away That Hammer and Chisel!
The Sizzle Does Not Fizzle;
Somedays: A Deluge;Others: A Drizzle:
Out Comes The Gold,
Chip Off The Block,
Solid As A Rock!
Tuesday: Humble Mumble-Jumble Misdirected:
Thursday: Prose Posed Proud and Perfected!
Then: Pentameters and Meters Unexpected: 
Now: Bronzed Literary To Be Erected!
