The Secret

The Secret

Type out your thoughts
In Snatches!
A word here, a phrase there,
Even whole lines that may rhyme, or not!

Abstract, it must be.
Play with the order
of words - Verbs afore, Subjects behind!
Jumbled up, all, as you wish them to be!

Coin a few new words.
A few
mind you!
Not too many that the gist be missed!

A rhythm, divine or otherwise,
Helps!
Try to think as have many before you!
You will find out it is easy.

Finally, add it up,
Publish it on your blog,
Add links from Google,
Facebook, Twitter & the lot.

And Lo & behold,
You are a poet!
As am I one!!

Well - at least this is a layman's interpretation of the process! :) Btw, are you SPS?
