Do you know how to tell a good poem from a bad one? It’s easy. I can teach you.
Just crumple up a sheet of paper and throw it into the bin in the far corner. The bad poem never reaches it. It will always drop somewhere halfway, rebounding off the rim then rolling beneath your sofa. Argh! And there you go, swearing, to pick it up and toss it in from a little closer.
But the good poem always makes it. Hell… now you’re groaning and you have to go over to the bin to retrieve it. But, did you know… you can choose to forget it instead. Just leave it in the bin. Don’t worry. The really good poem will never leave your head. I should know. I’ve checked.

It is really nice to read how you expressed so much with so few words. And then there is light humor. I love it!

I like this a lot. I’ve been poking about your page and it’s so odd how heavy but light hearted your writing is at the same time… I feel a tad confused (in a good way)

Great analogy! And you’re correct – the really good poems never do leave my head 🙂

I find it helps if I just tip my head to one side. The poems dribble out my ear that way. It totally works! 😛

My best poems never fall out of my head. I assume that to be the case, because all the ones I write down are just awful.

Poems must be birthed. Well, that’s what I’m told anyway. I wonder if that’s true? 😛
