Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Poetry's Like a Fawcet

Poetry’s like a faucet
   Turn it on, let it warm up
When it flows just right
   You’ll be able to write

Focus your mind, close your eyes
   It may take you several tries
To devise and revise ~
   Hope you won’t have to agonize

Bill Baker May 29, 2022 at 8:04 PM Writing poetry in Couplet Form. Good advice.

Caren Krutsinger May 24, 2022 at 1:17 PM This is exactly what it is like to write. And it is easier if you let the faucet drip a little each day.

Kim Rodrigues May 23, 2022 at 8:19 PM I haven’t been able to write as much lately! I will find my inspiration:) Gershon Wolf May 29, 2022 at 8:43 PM Kim, I'm counting on your inspiration to start flowing soon! (Don't force it, of course). ;) gw

L Milton Hankins May 23, 2022 at 7:18 PM This is so true, gw, and good advice; although, I must admit that occasionally I agonize over something that comes into my head when I find I can't get it onto the page the way I'd like to.

Heidi Sands May 23, 2022 at 6:53 PM For some reason it usually flies out of me, if it is not a different form! And I do not edit enough lol. ...although a pantoum can take up to an hour! BLESSINGS :)
