dogpack saving 4premium+   , I think I know what you meant when you said, The words keep talking to me and wanting to be arranged in a certain manner. Most of the time, I write poetry because the poems ask or demand to be written. Even when writing to a prompt, it seems that I begin and then the poem takes over, knowing what it wants to convey. I believe life is poetic -- sublimely, tragically, and everything in between, and I guess that's the way my mind thinks. Ideas come to me for a variety of reasons and that's where the poems begin. It's like any sort of building -- I begin with a skeleton structure, arranging, rearranging, adding and replacing words and meanings as the poem becomes more or less robust, depending on its message and purpose. I love poetry because it is language, distilled -- and I can be the distiller. |
