How I Write Poetry- the Secrets Out

In my ruby red shoes I click my heals Take out my golden pen Through transcendental meditation raise my heart rate up Placing my head in a cosmic spin Conjure up a darkened mood Then brighten it up a bit Oh, I almost forgot for luck I go outside and spit With a touch of genius (I don't mind saying) I lay down my first AMAZING line Pour over it stroke by brilliant stroke Then erase it half a dozen times As I analyze my finished gem Dissecting it line by enticing line This time I'm sure like every time before Another masterpiece is mine Then I noticed that one misplaced word That changes everything I had to say I think to myself...ahhh, "what the heck" And I post it anyway
