I write poems sometimes... when I get into the mood. It doesn't happen. Sometimes it takes years between poems. I wish I could focus more and write more of them. But I have so many things going on in life. I usually will sit for 15-20 minutes, scribble something down and do a final edit and then I am done! Thats it. It doesn't take too long for me. Thoughts seem to come natural too and they flow right into the paper effortlessly.
If I were paid for this, I would be more prolific :-) Some of the earlier peoms I have written have grammatical errors, but I don't wanna edit them; I wanna retain their childish charm. The latter ones are of course much better but some of the earlier ones, I like as well. Find a one-liner description and links to all my poems (password protected) here. My OCD resulted in me rating my own poems...LOL.
