A poem I wrote about how many poems I was writing.

Exhausted Fingers

Scritch scratch
The words
They wont stop coming out.
Scratch scritch
They keep flowing-
They're not slowing down.
Skitch skatch
I don't know
If I love it
Or hate it
Skatch skitch
This feeling-
I just can't shake it.
My emotions spew out
In terms I don't know.
The words- they don't stop,
They continue to grow.
The letters just
Keep coming my way
I can't stop writing,
I'm wasting away.
One,
Two,
Three poems
Four.
I am afraid
I'll keep writing more.
In these poems
My spirit lingers
I can't stop
These exhausted fingers.

It gets rather like that, doesn't it... Addictive and we feel compelled to get it all down and express these pent up emotions and share them... It all helps. :-) Good on you.
