Maturity: Nothing
Fantasy: Nothing

The first one is in Shadows of Inspiration and the second one is going in Twigbook II

Shadows of Inspiration

Sydney Staccato

Shadows of inspiration

Drift across my mind.

Hover for a moment,

Then quickly skitter away.

Leaving behind only a trace

Of what they once were.

The thought lingers in my mind,

Then passes into oblivion

Never to be remembered again

Except to haunt my dreams

In the near future.

Catching the Inspiration

Sydney Staccato

Catching the inspiration,

Fleeing from my grasp.

Appearing one second,

And fading into nothingness the next.

Gone in the blink of an eye.

The most brilliant idea one minute,

And unable to reminisce the next.

It moves fast,

I must be faster.

Flash, catch the inspiration,

Hold it in my mental grasp.

Inspiration on Paper

Sydney Staccato

Inspiration on paper,

Written by my hand.

The pencil scribbles swiftly,

Scratching the white paper,

Filling it with words.

Starting out as a shadow of inspiration,

Passing through my consciousness.

Nearly escaping,

Barely caught in my clutches.

Now coming into being,

Flowing perfectly together like water.

Thanks! Haha. I wonder if we're making a third book. . . . If we are I doubt it'll be Inspiration on Paper so I'll have to write a new poem for it. . . tongue
