Weird
Weird these words
dropping in inky
drops from pen end
poised above paper:
a variety of poses.
Not for me the key
-board’s voluminous
vocabulary, nor the tap,
tap, tap, fingers on lap
top to search for a word,
an idea, a distraction
just a tap away.
For me, the slow flow
of thought, the clumping
together of the mind’s
pretty litter of ideas
milked slowly, one by
one from a cornucopia:
happy creativity.

This is very interesting.The poem makes me think of myself trying to write poetry nowadays. I just can’t anymore. And words are indeed very weird to me.
Funny how I didn’t notice until I read the comments the thing about pen and paper vs. computer.
I never tried writing on the computer, (poetry, that is. I’m obviously tapping right now) maybe I should try that.
Thank you for the inspiration 🙂

I have started a notebook in which I write poetry with my left hand (I am right-handed). I write more slowly and the concentration needed to write unblocks the ‘mental thought policeman’ and allows the images to flow more freely. It;s great fun. Try it!!!

It is amazing to me how different composing on paper and computer screen are. I usually begin and go through a couple of drafts on paper although I do all final edits on the screen.

I wonder if it’s an age difference? That said, many of the schools I visited preferred pen and paper for creation than keyboards. I see two different products. Interesting.
