To write a poem,
think a bit
About words and rhythms and
jumbled ideas
String them together
into a shape that casts
its shadow onto other’s minds
And rustles your feelings
with feathery wings
The passengers from my Train of Thought
stumble together on a page
to make a poem.
1. A thick dictionary (tiny print and plenty of dust is preferable)
2. A baby name book for character names
3. A lucky pen for especially good pieces (super lucky if it has colored ink)
4. A library card
5. A flashlight for reading under the covers all night (plus some extra batteries)
6. Plenty of book knowledge
7. A big stack of notebooks to scribble in (composition are the best)
8. A cozy bed to read in
9. A blog for sharing
10. A journal for keeping (must be secret)
