Cooling Creativity Poem by Theresa Ann Moore

The pieces of a nonexistent puzzle
Exist in the crevices of imagination
Be selective… pluck the fruit wisely
Squeeze out every ounce of fascination

Put the words into a memorable package
The flow of poetry shouldn’t be a task
Share undisclosed secrets with structure
Let the creator of dreams be unmasked

Had a thousand thoughts while browsing
Each sparkling gem was uniquely amazing
The scope within the mind is limitless
Now inspiration is out to pasture grazing

Perhaps the vastness of choice confuses
A consoling cup of coffee is cooling
Creativity can’t be revived by caffeine
This weary poet needs sleep for refueling
