The curious cat
only dies after being
curious nine times.
Mike Hauser Oct 2017
The way that I write poetry
I don't give it too much time
To sit and stew over what it should do
I just toss it out onto the line

As there's another one soon to come
And it'll just be in the way
Where my mind seems to rhyme all of the time
With all that it has to say

I write it down, brush it off
Polish is a thing of the past
If I let it sit around, here and there there about
It loses the thoughts it needed to grasp

I try not to go intellectual
As intellectually doesn't work for me
If your looking for prime examples
Just read my poetry

I write it out fast and furious
Whatever's on my mind at the time
And if you're the least bit courious
You can read what I think in rhyme

As I toss it out onto the line...
I'm in a poetry group and most of the guys there will anguish over their poetry for months on end until they feel it's perfect. Then anguish over it after that. Me...I write it down, wipe it's **** then send it out!
