The Theory of Writing
We, the poets pull words from physical reminders
As a farmer harvest crops
And as ranchers recognize the animals..
We, the poets often glean from our storage
Words needed to create what we wish to express.
See how children make friends with their toys
And often have imaginary experiences.
They believe for a time, real and living to them
That allows the child a world of fiction and fantasy.
Real things grow on our vines of *Jungian theory
As our mind chooses words and create thoughts.
One well knows clouds and watermelons
As close relatives, kissing cousins genetically
As their molecular identity is almost the same.
As the mind create
The body expels joy and hate.
We satisfy our needs the best we can
Thereby feed the desire to cast emotional dice.
