Poetry Day: Idea Barrage

Gomez Addams

(This is pretty easy to figure out.  I wrote it back when my imagination was a lot stronger and less controlled.  So, ideas would come to me all of the time and I’d struggle to make sure I got them written down in some form.  Kind of miss having that happen to me.  Time and stress does a number on the imagination since the brain is focused on so many other things.)

They come at me at once

A horde of thoughts and dreams

Each wanting to be heard

An evolution of an older plot

Pushing newer ones aside

Clashes of warriors

That will never meet in ink

Monsters slither from all corners

Some born of darkest magic

Others from the vilest science

I try to sort them all

Weaving order from the chaos

Pulling merging forms apart

So that they do not spoil

Only some will survive the day

As I struggle to find time and pen

About Charles Yallowitz

Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.
