Spontaneous

Spontaneous I feel the tempo of my heart Arising as I leave the bed To journey to my quaint toilette And go downstairs to greet the sun The food is eaten I recall I’m all alone with just my thoughts I watch the wren land on my fount It stares at me then dips its beak I sense the writing of a poem Quickly words come in my brain I must recall and write words down Whatever themes I can attain A sense of pride that makes me blush To write again with simple words I have defined spontaneous Dementia will have to wait ©Ralph Sergi March 19,2016 *I enjoy writing 8 syllable poems that are popular with Thai. It’s a good exercise to began other forms.

You depicted the theme that all writers feel in such simple but powerful words--a true artist you are, Ralph!

Ralph thanks for pointing me in the direction of this poem, it made me smile to read this again - I can relate so much and I too write poems with simple words... but poems many can relate to not 'high brow' poetry that only the writer understands:-) hugs Jan xx

I think we can all realte Ralph - I love the spontaneity of writing - I often stop what i am doing just to write a line - usually on the back of a shopping receipt lol:-) hugs Jan xx

When I first started writing I would be up at all hours of the night - if I thought of a line i had to write it down - the other day when I was out shopping I thought up 4 lines of my gravity limerick - all scrawled down on the back of a receipt lol:-) If I don't write there and then the moment is gone and I forget what I was going to write:-) hugs jan xx

Hi Jan: What a great idea. It always happens this way. I find it more difficult planning a theme unless a spark occurs. thanks for the comment.
