Stimulate Me Poem by Suzanne Hayasaki

Stimulate my mind
Make ideas run wild
In the briar patch
That is my imagination.

Spark a desire in me
To channel my creativity
Into something magical,
Not quite tangible,
Completely unmanageable.

Set the time bomb of potential art in me
With an image that sticks
Or a phrase that goads
And then wait patiently
For an explosion of poetry.

It may be messy.
It may be unkempt.
It may seem chaotic to some
And wonderful to others
But for me it is always
A needed release
Of love.
