"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. ________________________ September 28, 2016- Reposted 08/24/2022 For the Standard contest, Pantoum Poem sponsor, Eve Roper, Judged 10/2016 First Place Submitted to the Standard contest, Pantoum- New or Old sponsor, Joseph May, Judged 08/28/2022 Second Place

You are so right! I love: Even when we are asleep, M U S E is creating. Poets work hard to get the right words, listen to the heart’s cry, practice the art as any other artist does. You are beautiful, Constance! Congratulations and God bless!
