To Mind A Poem's Incredience

Using Mindfullness as the guide, I put myself in the middle of words, presence, and what I keep around me when I am writing a poem. This poem is about craft and awareness. It is about the tools for creativity, poetry.

————

A pen, Zen, and 

pad. Colorful vocab. 

A poet in the lab. Quiet. 

Calm. Collectivity. Connectivity 

to the poet’s abilities, stillness, 

creativity.

Thoughts resounding. 

The finding of the innerlinings 

of a well-crafted poem. Participates 

in the juggling of words. Verbal 

jargonaut superb. Uses what he 

heard, what he saw, lyrics as 

Law.

Without flaw? This is 

the attempt. Visions came 

and went. A practice spent 

smoothing out stanzas, his 

mind’s stamina is the answer. 

Wars are ongoing, conflicts forever 

rising. Instead, he’s sizing up 

vocabulary. Hoping to create 

legendary poetry, which is 

Primary.

Music. Jazz. Instrumental 

hip-hop so the poem has rhythm, 

power, impact. Standing alone 

in the halls of imagination. A mind 

stationed, but making things happen 

without procrastination.

How can you be still and productive 

at the same time? The mind climbs. 

The pen writes. A poet creates. A 

master demonstrates being like 

water, watering the soil where 

poetree grows.
