As I sit at the table, I will ponder and then search for the words and a form for a poem I'll be staring at paper, with a pen in my hand while looking for gold, whether it's midnight or dawn Just like hearing the tapping of rain on the window A free-verse is brewing, at first just a drizzle And as quickly as storms, seem to come out of nowhere, a floodgate of verses will sound as my thunder and flash as my lightning to strike here and there Pouring on paper, like rivulets on windows A free-verse unleashed, forms the words in a row Painting a river, and a poem I can own _____________________________________________________ 10/30/15 For Contest: "What Is Your Favorite Poetry Form?"

The title griped me and the words held me. Loved it... Mine are like a flowing river that keeps skipping out of it's banks to come back later...
