Question: Would you comment on a poem about, um, writing!?

fingers poised furtively
awaiting call for action
they hear no battle cry!.!.!.
serendipity paves way
for an image to emerge
into void of
mind's inner sanctum
eyes bathe in it
heart embraces its meaning
eureka!
words pour in, firing off like
rounds of ammunition
barrels locked and loaded
idle fingers at the ready
preparing to explode
poet takes aim, targets
blank white page
bull's eye!

my problem is I jump in the shower at 7am (ok too much detail so far) and I get ideas about (hold that thought, wait till I finish this sentence) poem ideas and I'm like!.!.!. how long will the suds last if I write with them on the shower bay!? So I gotta get dressed quickly and write down what I was thinking (cos suds don't last like they used to) and by that time I gotta dash to work so I can't work on the poems until after work!.!.!.and that makes me sorta mad!.!.!.knowwotImean!?

I like your poem!. How many suds did it take you!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Writing as a weapon and words as ammunition!. I like the concept!. Judith, are you listening to this!?

Your Harley, your boots, your gloves and your pistola complement the words that will destroy a troll or dry the tears from a loved one's eyes!.
