There is a poem out there
floating in the air.
Quick, can you grab it
then sit in your chair,
With a pad of paper
and a pencil or pen,
writing words down
is how your poem begins.
What words will you get down with today? Writers like to call the time they spend writing as BIC time--butt-in-chair. If you don't spend a little time each day, every day writing, you get out of the writing habit and all those lovely words you might write, and all those delicious poems out there floating in the Universe waiting to be discovered, will be lost or they might float on to some other writer. I believe this. Where do you think the inspiration for poetry comes from? Can you write about that today? Have fun writing.
Why should I not sit, every morning of my life, on the hillside, looking into the shining world? Mary Oliver
