The Perfect Poem

As unfocused and natural as breathing As unrestricted as dreaming Creativity derives from formless – From liberty Don’t think Write now Correct later This is poetry in its most perfect form Just like when you’re taking a test and your first thought is most likely correct It’s okay to jump from one thought to the next As long as you have a trail to look back on You can recall information Don’t abandon your first thoughts of originality! Flow and flow with your original thoughts filled with your unique personality Be free Be you and you will be surprised at all who will be inspired by you Don’t muffle your emotion Don’t muffle your first original thought Be free Be you and you’ll be amazed at the hues that leak on paper from you A collaboration between Elliott Bowe THe DrUnKeN POeT & Brittany MAD POet Caldwell

Elliot, it is very interesting the way different people are affected to write poetry. I am your opposite. It rarely flows for me. When I try to let it, I often end up writing pure narrative, not free verse or actual poetry. I have to craft all my words out if I create a "poem". But I really admire those who can flow and come up with brilliant poems. this one is very nice!
