Poets Poetry Process

Inspiration. Inspiration is indisputably unexpected like scattered showers on scorching days From ants raging war within the logs crevice, or the mysterious sea’s zephyrs after dark Spontaneously leaping into perpetual thought, desire stealthily follows Carefully selecting beloved thoughts within the brains exotic continuum Forming the poem Spontaneously choosing a companion to create your Picasso of words Swiftly and slowly decomposing memories to adjectives and verbs Rearranging, changing, and emotions of satisfaction and frustration The Poets post then accept comments for their creation

Thoughtfully deep and contemplative, James! The creative process is a difficult element to share, especially with such grace and pacing. Well penned and enjoyable to read! Warm regards, John.
