I Write Poetry
"Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings . . . "
Quote by - William Wordsworth
I write poetry that when read may seem easy,
Hard writing makes "easy" reading, it is said;
What seems spontaneous is really quite weepy,
The skill- art of the poet, from a pen that bled
Hard writing, makes easy reading it is said,
Inspiration can come from outside or within;
The skill, art of the poet- from a pen that bled,
Our unconscious flows even before we begin.
Inspiration- can come for outside or within,
Even when we are asleep, MUSE is creating;
Our unconscious flows- even before we begin,
Poet's souls are like a thousand skylarks singing.
Even when we are asleep, M U S E is creating,
What seems spontaneous is really quite weepy;
Poet's souls are like as thousand skylarks singing
I write poetry- that when read may seem easy.
