Analysis of The driven poet!!
He pours his heart out on paper expressing what he feels
Like writing over steep cliff he drops it and it spills
Floating in the air he finds a topic to write
The driven poet explains his words in flight
Traveling next to an airplane they glance at his words
Escorting the flow of a masterpiece protected by the birds
He's driven to write there's no mistake let his style be known
Believing in his heart all the time that his poetry will live on
Like behind the wheel of a car he presses the accelerator down
Detours, direction flows in his mind as these words roll around
He takes an exit unfamiliar, he shortcuts through the planes
Powered by his thoughts he writes a piece that surely inspires again
