Behind Closed Doors

Intriguing thought begins to waltz, With baby steps, timid and coy, Twirling into a master ploy - It hesitates and then it halts… The thought is tamed, the game is on, Fervid, wild word search is in play; The frantic quill redrafts all day, The mind’s in frenzy, dusk to dawn. Masterpoem is to be born! Or is it vehemently verbose? One despised doubt… it hither goes - Into the waste bin, gravely torn! Genious has his highs and lows - The price of greatness, I suppose!

This is exactly how I write, haha. And of course there's the age-old question of whether a poetry is eloquent and loaded with rich imagery, or a cringeworthy combination of meaningless metaphors haphazardly stitched together.

Nice one. You hit the nail on the head. Poets write good poems and bad ones. Thank goodness for delete on the Word document.
