I Used to Write

Here's a poem I wrote after a long hiatus, or dry spell:

I used to write
Down all my deepest thoughts
All my prayers
All my dreams
All the mixed, jumbled things
Rattling about in my head.
And they came out in ordered,
Uniformed lines.
Words, subjects and verbs
Linked into sentences
Like dutiful soldiers
Arrayed in a drill.
I used to write
All the storms
All the gales
Into hushed little breezes
Barely bending the grass.
