the ideas come all at once
greasy it may seem swirling in the mind
fears of the unknown in shadows
fears of the unknown in shadows
less defined
how to start getting poetry organised
perhaps a knock at the knuckles
not the way as creative writing
cannot be intruded upon
from wanting ideas for helping to unravel
and curb those that impinges
from wanting ideas for helping to unravel
and curb those that impinges
on a cluttered brain
just note it down and not
just note it down and not
to be unduly concerned as yet
it comes and go and often overwhelms
start to note down on something familiar
it helps when the lines are made to rhyme
there is then a semblance of poetry
it progresses fast thereafter
and are made easy
they fall into place when
broken into stanzas
there you have it overly surprised
you went this far
Happy Summer Break to Everyone!

And a good result it turns out to be. I believed in trusting the process. Happy summery break Hank!
ReplyDeleteI certainly get the "cluttered brain" reference. Good one, Hank!
ReplyDeleteYes, Hank, poetry comes and goes, often overwhelms, and ultimately surprises us with the result! I like the author photo you paired with it.
ReplyDeleteLove how you focused on the artisan part of poetry
ReplyDeleteA nice glimpse into your process, Hank 👏
ReplyDeleteThe art of poetry takes some pondering for sure. I think basic form helps with the completed work. Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteYes, I can relate to all that!
