A poem taps at my chest trying to get out
It taps again, then begins to shoutI search for my muse
she’s silent- perhaps it’s a ruseIt begins stamping its feet
not backing down or considering retreatThis is my battle-stemming poems from charging about
They’re ever impatient – eager to get out

Very nice. Interesting that the muse is separate from the poem.

An idea percolates for sure… I take a lot of photos and one will really resonate with me but sometimes it takes days for me to match it with the right words…

They are like that, impatient.
And if we ignore them, well, they just pack up and leave!

I love it when my poems are ” – eager to get out”. I would like for it to happen more often.
Enjoyed your poem, about the nature of poems, very much 🙂

Don’t you just love (and sometimes get infuriated by) that feeling? A poem that won’t be denied? A mind raging to burst, a body wanting rest, a muse whistling who knows about what?
P.S. I experienced very similar today. So, I totally read me in your words. 😀
