The tiny moth with the circular designs
Broke its wing on a hazardous flight
***********
It landed swiftly as I start
Pouring my verses into my draft
***********
As I dream, as I feign to think
The poor moth drowns in my ink
***********
It flutters and stumbles over my lines
As the melody wanes
And the inspiration declines
***********
With my words odd and diffused
And my thoughts utterly confused
***********
The moth dies under my eyes
On my stray page, lifeless it lies
***********
Before I could pour in my art
All the throes of my heart
