Moment of the Storm
No formal styles, I write how I feel
about things in my life, whether imagination or real
took a college literature class
had to work at Robert Frost
never figured e.e. cummings
with Emily, I got lost
no titles for her poems
the name is a great part
me, I begin with one thought
and let it pour from heart.
Sometimes I name it first
or wait till after it's done
sometimes I'll look at something
that will set me off to one
Music has a part in writing
emotions from the tones
hearing something or reading others
sometimes it's skipping stones
that will make me write
philosophies and feelings and thoughts
spill out words onto paper
sad things make me write lots
being alone or in love
living in the night
putting pain into perspective
is how I like to write.
So I have no special style
no following a specific form
I write on the spur
of the moment of the storm.
