Writing Poetry Poem by Clyde King
Writing Poetry
Start with a story, fictional
Or true. Then start with
A word and the rest will
Follow like an army of
Ants that has found
The picnic.
Words must be thoughtfully
Chosen to get the mood
And spirit to blend. The
Golden thread, as it's called,
Has to be followed to its logical
Or illogical conclusion, right?
It doesn't have to have
A happy ending, it can be
A heartbreaking sob
Tell the truth as you understand
It. Don't imitate any body
Or you're a phony. Even if it's
Fiction, tell the truth.
Get it?
Hope so.
