Writing poetry is like a roller coaster
All is well as the roller coaster begins to build momentum for its uphill climb
It builds and builds,
But sometimes
That roller coaster gets stuck
Losing all momentum and will that it had
People get disappointed as they are ushered off
Ruining their day
With one bad experience
They no longer go on the roller coasters of that amusement park
Fearing disappointment at every turn
Every drop laced with fear on the uncertainty of the ending
Eventually, everything ends
And so does the roller coaster
With its heavy huffs as it comes to a stop
For some people, that was the best rollercoaster they’ve ever been on
Some like the works of other parks better
But they all experienced the same situation
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
But so is the beauty of the roller coaster
And the beauty of poetry
Often times, a poem can come to a standstill
A form of writer’s block in which
Nothing useful gets onto the page
Except the occasional tears of not being good at something you love
The writer in question needs to re-build their poem
Re-building the momentum
And making the roller coaster satisfying
Without an eventful end to the coaster
No one will want to come back and ride again
The rise, the fall, and the end
Can make or break the experience
Poetry is one of the best things to stem from the human mind
We just need to believe in its power
And the power of the writer as they put the pen to paper
As they write your roller coaster into existence
And with it, an experience you can never forget.
