Hey! What's with all the poetry, bro?

I must confess I do not know,
Of the pull that guides me so.

One day I felt a little tickle,
And so the words began to trickle.

Usually I like to tell tales,
Usually my attention fails.

I write my rhymes in lots of two,
But now I yearn for something new.

I'm not sure how to transition in style,
my previous attempts raise only bile.

Is such a change too visually jarring?
I should just try it and see how it ends,
I feel as if I am verbally sparring.
Words are my enemy but still my best friends.

Something there is not quite right,
but for now I tire and withdraw from the fight.

Where is that spark I know when I need it?
Why is my poetry worse when I read it?
