A Poem

Painting with words

Spilt from the mind

Writing whatever comes next

No time to check

Is it good

Is it bad

To live a life focused on perfection

Just becomes sad

Let it all fly

Don’t worry about how

Or why

No word count to worry about

Just let your soul bleed

Into the canvas of life

Follow your dreams

No mistakes

Just happy accidents

Happy little trees

Dancing through my mind

Just writing to unwind

From the stress of writing

Fighting with myself

I should be editing

But this is more enjoyable

    Happy accidents indeed! Nice one! Always good to get into the “flow”. 😊👍

    Nicely done.

  • Happy accidents remain just that, so long as I remember not to publish them, lol.

    I spoke in a comment recently about how sometimes there's this period in my migraines where I write. I feel crap and cognitively fuzzed, so I don't give a shit how it comes out, but I'm not yet so debilitated that I can't write, and I'm often quite pleased with the outcome.
