Notes About The Poem

PART 1 of 7

Poetry a How To

read read 
& read aloud

listen for the natural
pause
       of just one breath
hear it punctuate

    your cause...
   

observe 
     
       & feel
then picture in the eye

sigh
and imagine


  write down

what

   you see &view

anew
         here
               there


& all around
                you

then


just
   follow
      your wen
&
pen

The practice of listening to your muse, sometimes prodding her with a word or two...nearly always erase after the magic shows up!
