Words below!

















I am not some published expert.

I am not here to teach you about poetry.

I am here to tell you the moment that that pencil hits that paper NO! NO! The first spark that strikes in some corner of your mind as you try to find the words, the idea, the concept of something to put down YOU ARE A POET!

We all write for some reason!

To reflect,
To discover,
To touch feelings previously unexplored or simply to describe something you find incredible.

Is it about love, sometimes.

Sometimes it is that view from your balcony on the most incredible weekend of your life and sometimes....it is the pain that boils through your entire being over the loss of someone or something that you held dear to your heart.

You're a poet.

What you write needn't be some miraculous piece of prose designed to move nations and make memories that will live on in society long after you are dust, scattered in the winds of time and wrapping this world in your warm embrace.

Sometimes. You will spend days, months or even years just trying to think of something that will break this writers block and everything you will write will fall short. You will cry like a 5 year old unable to go on the BIG rides but trust me. The tea cups can be quite fun!

So play with words like the innocent child that runs out into a road unaware of the danger that comes with two lanes of fast moving cars and a bus! When you make it across your heart will pound telling you, I wont be doing that again soon.

And don't worry if you get hit because eventually you can get over it. Maybe write a poem.

And don't worry if you get hit by said bus and never wake up because someone will write that poem for you.

Your life is forming around you in a delicate web and you have some degree of control as it falls onto a page not unlike a diagram. You may not understand but when you look back knowing that you are what you are. You will reorganise those events into some semblance of sense.

You will write that sense in the form of a poem.

Why? Because sometimes you need to write the words....YOU ARE A POET!
