how do you write poetry
How do you write poetry? Someone asks me.
I am not the one to ask.
For I have no idea how it happens.
I just throw down some favorite words
I love to watch them dance about,
Adverbs chasing verbs, nouns snatching up adjectives
Before I can have a thought,
These favorite words
create something on a page
Sometimes it is a story,
Other times it is a cheer or a song.
They need me not at all.
I am merely their means to get onto a website.
