How To Write A Poem


First, find a comfortable place
I have chosen
The ground
at the floor
of my closet
Don’t ask me why

Now
Let you imagionation flow
Okay
Write down what you’re feeling

“Why am I sitting in my closet?”

No, No
That won’t do at all

It has to flow in the same way
your imagination did

“I am sitting so sound
upon the ground”

No, no
It need not rhyme

It is just a composition
showing beauty
in language
or thought

“Okay”

So why aren’t you writing?

“Because it’s already done”
