A Poet Wrote Poems Poem by Terence George Craddock

how did the poet write many poems
a critic might state the obvious
poet wrote poems one poem at a time
but prolific poets do not write like that
prolific poets sometimes write several poems
at the same time many poems at the same time
skipping sometimes from draft unfinished poems
to poems poems scattered poems drafts finished

in files a few many shifting through files time
in rush hour days time pressing demands
poems can be displaced lost time forgotten
poet lost not in poem of an hour not a moment
poems in busy day can choose moment of writing
poet writes when poet can poems finally finished
