How to Write a Poem

From the prompt "write a poem about how to write a poem."

Feel don't think

Listen don't speak

Write don't breathe

Don't plan

Don't plot the words

Let them come as they see fit

If you search for a story you've already missed it

Read more

Read like it's air

Read like you must to function

And write

Write even if it's bad

Write even if you hate the story

So long as you do

A bad poem is bad than none at all
