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.

Hi, andrew149,
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.

So that's how it works... Great poem, great title, great subject(and very informative)! thumbs up

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! laugh
professor (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!

Yes you must relax first so that all and anyghing can flow.
"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

Well having written this you will believe me when I say that's how I felt in that bar on saturday night! I just had to write, I looked in my bag and there was no notepad - nothing decent - so i used an ikea leaflet from a visit there and a napkin! laugh laugh
There is a notebook in it now - I hope I never get caught that way again... frustrated
cool and very true write Andrew
