Love this ! The rhyimg flows beautifully. The last stanza is my favorite. |
by Tony
Thanks Brise! I usually fill a page with stanzas and then rearrange them in an order that makes sense (my weird process). I like to put the hardest hitting last. |

Rearranging stanzas until they make sense. This is a novel way of assembling poetry. I guess poetry is a way of the sub-conscious to speak, like the pen being dragged by some surreal entity. |

I write when I have time, either on post-its, or scratch paper. Most of it goes into my collection of notebooks. Some of it makes it here, but I usually have a couple pieces of paper in front of me... |
Tony this has really touched me. It's just brilliant and must speak for so many of us who use their poetry to purge their innermost feelings. I'm fascinated to learn how you write then rearrange the stanzas ... it's totally working for you and the last one is indeed the hardest hitting - the final line especially. Added to my faves :-) x |

It's easier than it sounds. Write what you feel, and feelings are not always linear. Feelings don't always make sense. I write mine down and make them make sense. It helps me figure out a lot, sometimes I'll realize things I didn't even know I felt. |
