It's
strange
to
me
to
write
one
word
at
a
time
on
each
line.
Who
speaks
like
that?
Poetry,
I
think,
should
be
a
conversation
between
you
and
your
soul.
Your
soul
may
not
understand
unnecessary
intermittent
pauses.
Well.
I
don't
understand
unnecessary
intermittent
pauses.
Case
in
point:
Writing
this
was
difficult.
(It's
probably
a
literary
weakness.)
I
imagine
that
a
soul
would
speak
in
at
least
partial
sentences
without
such
halting
spasmodic
twitches.
Unless it doesn't. I am not your soul. If you find wholeness and depth and truth by writing this way, then carry on.
*******
(There's the rhyme. There's always a place and a time for convention.)
