Sometimes thing do not go my way
As I would have written it
The words not the ones I wanted
But I’m helpless to their demands
I do as I am commanded
I bow to the plot
The rhymes and rhythm rule
Pace and flow reign freely
Fingers follow the patterns set
Characters holding the torch,
On their own paths
I wish them well
All the best
And have to merely watch
As they face their toughest tests
