Reason's Resort

There is this space called my Poem Place, Each morning I rush to settle in. My standard routine, warmed by caffeine gets in gear once I pick up my pen. Picking up my pen means I begin with my computer and my notebook. Microsoft Word and Rhyme Zone ready, I open Farlex Free and One Look. Now all I need are "thoughts" to proceed. I click the icon, Poetry Soup, Forms are the tool that makes my pen drool And blogs spark my mind to regroup. Reading is spice, but what's really nice is when ideas flow through my brain. If I come up short, my next resort, Members' contests, my mental food chain. Myriad prompts serve my pen with verve. Once I bookmark the ones that appeal, my turn at bat; I choose God's format to see what rhyme and Reason reveal. written 12-28-2014 with revisions 1/18/17 Sponsor Beata Agustin Contest Name POEM ON POETRY MUSE

I love your play on words with your last name Reason. I also loved the way you expressed how you write a poem. Wow, "When I come up short, my first resort, "Contests: by members," mental food chain." Excellent and such creative lines Reason. Congratulations on your much deserved first place win!

Thanks, Jerry, get those mental juices flowing...I reduced it somewhat to 9 syllable lines, and added a stanza. Appreciate the care.
