My mind decrees that I must write

Or suffer from word jumble blight

A constant nagging from my mind

To let ink flow; let words unbind

No peace until ink deed is done

Cannot relax and have some fun

So, I give in to nagging beast

And let my paper have ink feast

And when mind's words have reached an end

A stillness on my soul descends

And I am thankful for relief

And for word gift that came from grief
