Off the top of my head-2

There are patterns. Predictable patterns. They bore me. Surprise startles me.

Isn't there a delectable in between that one can live in?

Ode and Obeisance

Then whisper, blossom, in thy sleep,
How I may upward climb,
The Alpine Path, so hard, so steep,
That leads to heights sublime.
How I may reach the far-off goal,
Of true and honoured fame.
And write upon its shining scroll,
A woman's humble name."

(Thanks to L.M.Montgomery who mentioned this in 'The Alpine Path', her autobiography, as the anonymous poem that inspired her. It was published in Godey's Lady Book in March 1884 as part of a continued story called Tam, the Story of a Woman by Ellam Rodman Church and Agusta de Bubna. It has irrevocably influenced me, and the jealous goddess of writing has held me captive too!)
