Poets Poetry Process

Inspiration.

Inspiration is indisputably unexpected like scattered showers on scorching days
From ants raging war within the logs crevice, or the mysterious sea’s zephyrs after dark
Spontaneously leaping into perpetual thought, desire stealthily follows
Carefully selecting beloved thoughts within the brains exotic continuum 

Forming the poem

Spontaneously choosing a companion to create your Picasso of words 
Swiftly and slowly decomposing memories to adjectives and verbs
Rearranging, changing, and emotions of satisfaction and frustration
The Poets post then accept comments for their creation
