Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Poems Come Faster and Faster

Poems come faster and faster
Once you open the floodgate of your imagination
The world of make believe is more than ready
Bringing for more what ifs and maybes
Than you can organize or manage

In the nocturnal realm, ideas come forth and shake me awake
The subconscious takes over, and I dream away
Waking up with poems prancing out of my head
Hearing the last stanza or the last line
Wondering what the heck I just heard

The pen intrigues me to captivate what has just happened
On an ethereal plane that is well beyond my grasp
I watch the pen scribbling lines, whorls, and dots across the plane
Wondering if it know what it is doing
For I am sure that I do not.
And are these the poems in my dream?
I frankly have no idea.

Kim Rodrigues August 24, 2020 at 7:56 PM So glad when I’m near paper or my tablet so I don’t lose the thought. Caren Krutsinger August 25, 2020 at 7:44 PM I harvey notebooks everywhere.

Maurice Rigoler August 24, 2020 at 5:26 PM I can relate to this poem, Caren; it happens to me often, mor especially. just before I enter sleep. Usually its the opening line, or the last line; at others times it's whole stanza with all the right rimes! It's uncanny! Perhaps it's because mt brain is at rest and my mental processes are "open" and my thinking is clearer? Anyway, there's a lot of truth is this poem. / Maurice
