Poetry has to come Naturally, <br />You just cannot sit down and say, <br />I'm going to write a poem, Today, <br />I'm going to write about the Sea, <br />Will then, the seashells ring? <br />And words like waves just sing? <br />And Phrases just fall into place, <br />Like freshly cut flowers in a vase? <br />No, naturally, not! <br /> <br />A Poem is a sting, <br />That wakes you Up! <br />Thousands of bells that ring, <br />And you Must, Get Up, <br />Ready for Battle, <br />Paper and Pen in hand, <br />Then you can conquer, <br />The whole intellectual Land, <br />Burning inside you, <br />With passion and demand, <br />Screaming to come out! <br />Like a New Born Child, <br />Of that there is no Doubt!<br /><br />Sandra Feldman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-birth-of-a-poem-3/
