it's a common theme and because of this has to be done in a way that that holds the reader. in general it defeats the object because of the very fact it's a poem. watch out for forced lines. [A spark I thought would once ignite,] feels as though it was done to fit the rhyme, if you do rhyme, try and be consistent with it.

I sat up late, irate at night.
A spark I thought would once ignite,
my mind, a match, I threw away. good [m's]
I could not think of what to write.
So I sat in the dark with a page in my mitt.
I’d embark with my thoughts to a land far away.
I would fight, there’s no way that my mind would submit,
so I clutched on my pen until night turned to day.
The words would not escape my lips,
the words could not escape my wrist.
