A POEM IS BORN
Hold your pen loosely...Relax,
First, there's a Sense of......Something,
A slight tingling of the fingers,
In your head you start to feel,
Excited in a way,
An itch you can't scratch.
Almost as if they had always known,
Hand and pen to paper are drawn,
Then, like magic, words appear,
They seem to take on a life of their own.
Eerily you begin to "feel",
Life, through others' eyes,
You..."See"...What they think,
There's no veil of disguise.
All seems a senseless jumble,
Let it happen, doesn't matter,
All of a sudden ideas in mind clatter,
They sort themselves,
Then take form,
From which you choose what pleases you,
And....
A poem is born.

There are so many ways A poem is born; but, no matter how yours are born, they are always a delight to read. Thank you for giving us insight into your poetic magic! We are truly blessed by your presence here.
I'm not a poet... but my mind seems often aclatter.
So it seems what's left is to get them born to a poetic form...
but my mind seems to like keeping them in a storm. Which is why I'll never be a poet!
(Except maybe a limerick once a yr.- I recall it being said they don't have to make sense & you can make up words)
Once again, nice write!

"Then take form,
From which you choose what pleases you,"
I always end up with a way too much and some I keep, but most I
cull and discard...but the basic premise or story remains.
Enjoyable.TY
There is a notebook in it now - I hope I never get caught that way again...
cool and very true write Andrew
