Listen to poem:

My Pen To You

Writing I most appreciate 
When poetry I can create
Be it a sonnet impromptu
I need every word to ring true 
I sometimes open the floodgate
When I only meant to tempt fate
It's often whimsy I pursue 
Dreams of Corfu and Kathmandu
Taking my pen I bid adieu
I need to write an ode to you

"every word to ring true" - I often re-write one line six or eight times, and still do not feel satisfied at the end. I get this.

A fine whimsical poem with more than a grain of truth. Re: The creative process.
