The Poetry Place

Monday, 6 October 2008 17:05:20

The first thing is to cut away where possible:

in the woods
on the edge of fields
by the river
even a picnic spot
be still and silent...
wait
things occur
birds approach, stop, sing, chase
leaves drop,
a squirrel, small black, inquisitive
noses about,
be still
be quiet
listen

Something I worry about is - structure. Does this have any kind of structure or is it just a dribble of words onto the page.  Some writers are happy with the dribble or the splurge, but it doesn't satisfy me...
