About This Poem

The Poet's Mind

When I close my eyes,
what do I see?
A tornado, I visualize,
of words flying all around me.
Strapped into my chair,
seatbelt securely fastened.
I grasp words out of the air,
their animation suspended.
With the simplest of ease,
with paper and pen.
I make my entries,
some I amend.
A simple process is what I find,
the inner workings of the poet's 
mind.

    Yes, this is often the way. What a great description.

    It is indeed sometimes like that for me also... and then there are those that fly so fast I miss them. Enjoyed !!
