Masterpiece Already Written In Head Poem by Terence George Craddock

there is a reason
great playwrights
great novelists
great poets
can write so fast
it is because
when sitting down
putting it on paper

it is easy
because it is
already done
in the head
good poetry
is like that...

already done in head
poet may not even know
what poet will write
first words thoughts
come poetry writes itself
back in the beginning
poet wrote slow usually
poet often got the first

or first few lines free
sometimes without
knowing what
or how poet will write
an entire poem is written
is automatic writing...

sometimes
better
to forget
theory
knowledge
just do
especially
if poet

can dream
an entire poem
from sleep waking
then remember
every line
word for word...
