A poem

I was reading La Misma's blog, ande her forays into poetry have inspired me. I like the idea of just letting it rhyme!

The days are lazy I float right through
I want to do something I don't know what to do
My thoughts start collecting like a gathering storm
Sticking together and gaining momentum

I work like a maniac scrawling my screed
Though I can't stop I do see the need
My horse is carrying me in an unknown direction
I ought to control it but the horse is too fascinating

Eventually I get frightened, nervous and saddened
The landscape around me is familiar and dreadful
I kind of felt that this time was different
Why do I have such an unruly animal?

I really like the poem's rhythms. It gallops and stops short and changes direction in the coolest way. That last stanza is killer.
