Pound out the words within to create the magic puzzle of creation into someone else’s mind.

Words pound at me inside
Making my mind go into frenzy

Let the intertwining begin
Let one word slip out into another
Into a string of words
Singing their way out
Into the perfection that a perfect puzzle
Can create a beautiful picture in

Piece my mind together for me
By putting my fingers to work
Stroking the memory down
Onto a screen that glues it together
Long enough for it to get to the next page

Let the memory be stored
For the mind to be reminded
By the search engines of the reader
Remembering the beautiful screen
Of the original thought

Look around and feel yourself grow
With the energy that is absorbed
In what your senses picked up
Scramble the words into new combinations
To electrify your audience

Yes words pound on me
From every angle
Massage my speech with magical verses
That creates spells that hypnotize
The reader in awe
So they have to come back
And pound the words into them
Again and again

A good start at stringing the words of rhythm into a poem, I know this feeling very well.
