Five Ways to Write a Poem (2)
by Paganini Jones
Take pens, some paper and go for a walk
in the woods. Find a log, just sit, don't talk.
Don't think too hard. Listen and wait. Then write.
Take pencil and pad. Go, wait for a bus
and take the first without thought or fuss.
See where it takes you. Watch and wait. Then write.
Sit at your desk or computer table
and write as fast as you're physically able.
See where it takes you: go doodle a bit.
Gaze at the paper. See how it all fits.
Rub out a bit or add some more. Then write.
Don't think too hard. Use a master plan
and write to a form as well as you can.
Use paper and pens, or computer ink. But write.

A sonnet, perhaps, but not any form I know. Maybe I've invented a new one? I wanted to write a Blues Sonnet, but it's definitely not one of them.
