The Poetry Process

“Poetry is the one place where people can speak their original human mind. It is the outlet for people to say in public what is known in private.” -Allen Ginsberg

I find that poetry comes to me in a rebellious way. If I force it out of me, it’s not as good, but if I wait until it comes to me and I take my time letting it unfold, it becomes less like words and more like a beacon.

I haven’t written any poetry in quite some time, but I enjoy it and I do kinda miss it.

How bout you, do you chase down your poetry or do you let it come to you?

Jayne is a writer. On her free time she likes to be with her family hiking outdoors and traveling. New England is her home and place of birth. When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
