A Recipe for Poetry

10/30/14

Produce a pen, ink trapped inside

Collect the blank papers rudely brushed aside

Give the story a thought,

Give it spirit, give it heart;

Now, start,

Jot.

Through skillful technique

Make the lines speak

Let them be dangerous, delicate, descriptive:

Cut the crap and write with honesty,

The best work comes subconsciously

Let each vowel be addictive.

Scream your soul’s soliloquies

Vividly through imagery,and a writer’s natural abilities.

And at the epitome let it go

Let it escape into a penned reality,

Where you may forget the world’s crass formality

Where I, the poet, the seeker and the humble speaker choose to let it flow
