A Poem To Write You Need To Write Poem by Terence George Craddock

if you had a poem to write you needed to write how would you write it?
I have written a poem or two learned a trick or two about how to write
shall I tell you a technique or two about poems how to rush rapid write?

you can plan it out write it if you can find fitting words don't fight it
a poem to write can be incredibly nice polished words if you write it
right don't force fight it you can contemplation take it slow time write it

slow or write with speed blitz it
you can write a poem think about it
if words keep pounding write write write it

if all thoughts focus theme focused no problems arise
to road block writers block creativity confound it
five decades into writing poems since childhood years

primary school writers block almost never never had it
now I can write without thinking no forethought write
a poem complete from start to finish without thinking at

university long ago I studied literature poetry for four years
styles forms poetic periods poets it was not good for poetic
personalized voice creative thinking too many kitchen cooks

too much knowledge competes can spoil soup broth
better skills five decades sharpened to write start
to finish without thinking at past university I did not

believe in stream of consciousness creative thought
flow no pause writing without thinking strange
time did pass decades did pass now I can often write

stream of consciousness without pause without thinking

strangely some poems
are eureka easily gift
written better beautifully

stunning poems
rare surprise
surprise are written

in truth in sincerity
quality enduring poetry
can be written spontaneously

from the heart from the mind
which thinks feels must write
at time instant poetic outbursts
