Bin Or Keeper

When I put pen to paper words take on some meaning as they drop from my pen A life of their own they begin to form as sentences are made Each portrays a thought showing often more than meant revealing deep hidden feelings As the sentences spring to life verses start to be formed telling a certain tale Sometimes of joy, others of woe when at last I lie my pen aside blank paper there is no more A new poem comes to life Sitting back I read afresh will it be bin or a keeper?

Good one, I know the feeling. My loving Miss Gray poem was one of those that I considered puting in the bin but with a bit of work it became a keeper.

Such poetry introspection......it is true with me also......the words take a life of their own, almost without my control. I think many poets would agree!
