poetry & spontaneity,
are one in the same,
each piece its own,
spinning wheels on different days,
reminiscent of springtime rain.
My writing is adjacent to this. As I think it is for most poets. We're writing from an unforced flow of thinking, without OVERthinking it. Usually unplanned, and often, not always knowing the outcome or purpose until finished. Each poem is its own.  Rupi Kaur is a great example of this.
If I came here as snow
How long
Could I last in the fall?
Aquatic depths
Led mystery

Cosmos
Casting mirrors

Endless
Beauty
To discover

Cliffside

Watching
Water stretch
Out
Into stars
The kind of lines
I like to write
are ones
your body
feels

no one seems to understand!
human knowledge, i just want to expand
i'm only trying to be of service
there's really no need to be that nervous
try my delicious potions
or my very, very soft lotions
and you'll be helping me on my quest
to benefit all! truly it's for the best!
lie there quiet now, it won't hurt a bit
you're helping humanity
so i'm sure you're ok with it!
