The Words For Poems

The words for poems are not chosen as they are for expository prose,

The form will take is usually not their poet's first thought...
Typically, he begins to put ideas or feelings into words,

Some poems, though, begin with a prescribed form...

To start this way may seem humdrum and mechanical compared with being inspired...

There are times when beginning with a form is there best her only way

Comments

My words to me some are thoughts as they happen to come through.
Then there are some that are sent from another place..
I have an old Monk that scribes at his desk, sending me words to be for others.
The rest is just a write to fill time gaps where I feel there is a need to write sometimes,
Take care Yours Ian ..
