The page is intentionally blank
together it and I can go anywhere
but now I am compelled to write
something illuminating tonight
I put black ink down on the white
and write until the page is full
I fold the next page down
then write again a while
and begin to rewrite my poem
then study it and revise all night
I am supposed to include insight
words appear forming thoughts
The thoughts build into concepts
developing into theme and plot
I add meter cadence and rhyme
as it comes to my heart and mind
I'm done when it paints a picture
which forms in the reader's mind
I find good poetry changes you
Great poetry changes everything
