• Writing a poem is a unique art.
    For you do not write it,
    it writes itself upon your heart.
    If it doesn't it is not worth my time.

    Writing a poem is a unique art.
    The words are a wild animal,
    they yearn to be free.
    They are what they want,
    and they do what they please.

    Writing a poem is a unique art.
    The words are not yours,
    they are their own.
    From the first word to the last,
    they control your hand.

    They are the words
    that have made this being.
