" . . . madness . . . retain, Which rightly should possess a poet's brain." Michael Drayton (1563-1631) a writer of poems must be quite mind fractured- we brainstorm the abyss of our thoughts deep, deep inside for our ranting looking for the broken pieces deep in the void of our life- and open old jagged wounds this writing is a mania and urge we travel the calendar of our cracked mind seeking inspiration- bright thoughts with instinctive delirium . . . a writer of poetry is spontaneous- to wander paths of the mind- forced to mend exposing self rupturing soul all in the name of poetry inspiration recollecting sad events for the sake of penning bleeding words for our readers we brainstorm- crotchet our poem at night we weave it in dreams incoherent we must write it must, must, must, must . . . _____________________________ October 19, 2018 Poetry/Free Verse/A Poet Must Brainstorm Copyright Protected, ID 18-1072-614-01 All Rights Reserved.

" this writing is a mania and urge we travel the calendar of our "cracked mind seeking inspiration- bright thoughts with instinctive delirium . .. " Magnificient enough-words have not yet been invented to suggest how wonderful this poem is, but this is a favorite part for me. Love the painting also.

That you nailed it, comes as no great surprise to me my dear friend. That is so true, we must write! We need to express that which others keep hidden. And good poets do so to help others deal with life-show a common bond.. A fav my friend.

Hello Dear Heart, yes we do write our feelings in poetry verse.We are inspired to write what our muse iforms us to create.

We must indeed. And your poem has so much insight and meaning, which I believe comes from sadness. 'A writer must be quite mind-fractured'. I guess I agree and the quality of all the winners' script proves the point. Congratulations on your deserved win, Kai

A well written piece of poetry with some great imagery and you've painted a great contemporary word-painting.

Much truth to what you say, Constance, when I first started writing I asked myself do I really want to bare my soul that way...but now those around me know me a bit better. Best of luck, Dear Heart. John

Well this one's a "Fav" of mine now; I especially like the imagery of the lines: "we brainstorm the abyss of our thoughts" and "this writing is a mania and urge we travel the calendar of our cracked mind seeking inspiration-"; great piece of poetry!
