What To Push Into a Poem
What to push into a poem next? What to begin to write?
What if nothing hits me as smart or even a bit bright?
Should I work on a quatorzain, quatrain or questionku?
What feels right? What should a beginning poet do?
Diamante, didactic, or diminished Hexaverse?
Where is that cheat sheet I used to keep in my purse?
Which one is which? Can I remember all of the rules?
Without looking them up, without Poetry Soup tools?
What is the difference between free verse, light verse, and blank verse?
Do I need to read them aloud? Do I need to rehearse?
Should I start yelling out words as they come into my mind?
Do I toss them out on paper? Do I seek my own kind?
My muse smiles as I flip open my-go-to-site
The one we love happily with all of our might.
And click on the link that says poetry types,
We begin throwing stuff onto paper, without any hype.
A quatorzain, quatrain or questionku?
What is a practicing novice poet supposed to do?
I guess just keep throwing out missives with stars and a moon.
Knowing PoetrySoup is not going anywhere soon.
