I enjoyed reading this piece. I liked the part about how you feel the excitement of creating something new, it's always a great feeling when you sit down to write something new. A well written piece. Good luck in the contest!

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I like that you needed silence and a cup of coffee to start your writing and that you chose the morning to begin. Mornings when we are refreshed and the coffee keeps us alert. Let the writing begin, create a masterpiece to share. A little assonance here and there to bring the free-write to life. Food for thought here, love Dolly x

Dolly, thank you for taking the time to read and comment on my free verse entry.
Comment from Fonda Little
My favorite part was, "When I read and reread the written tome,
perhaps massage a stiff word in a stanza or more,
I then make the decision....
Is this good enough to serve to you?", because I can definitely relate to this as I do the exact same thing after I write anything!
The Lord led me to this verse after I read this,
John 12:26
New International Version
26 Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.

Fonda, it is the little things we do in our writing that separates stuff from little gems that create a world of revelation.
Comment from RShipp
"I lightly caress a deep feeling that trickles like
a small stream beginning a downward flow"
My favorite lines.
"Then pausing for a day or two, I leave the words to mature" So important for me!
I think your poem explains "How do you write your poetry?"
Best of luck in the Writing Poetry POETRY CONTEST.

Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
The composition that builds from musings through the day can be very powerful once penned. Your approach is very good for the heart. Memories massage certain feelings into heartfelt words and scramble to be loosened on a page. I like that you leave it for a day or two and then reread.

Ralf, it is in many ways how to approach anything that we do in life from prayer to building a career to enjoying the fruits of our labor. Doing it from the heart from the very start.

I think you have covered the art of writing a poem perfectly. This free verse poem has some incredible imagery in it, a dash of rhyme, and lots of thoughts on what to write your poems about. All in all, it's a great contest entry, well done, and good luck! Sandra xx

Comment from Jasmine Girl
I like your choice of words, Mind swirling, coffee cup brimming and the following cooking reference:
Like adding a bit of zest when preparing a feast.
Yes. We need some zest to spice it up. I have learnt a new work today: onomatopoeia

Lisa, clapping for your new found discovery.
Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
I like how you 'baked' your free verse, Mystery Writer. Your words flow smoothly with great imagery. I could tell this was written from your heart. I could see everything as I read. I imagined a big mixing bowl where you dropped in all the ingredients of your free verse, then stirred--almost like baking bread--let it rise (sit for a day or two to mature) then decide to serve it (of course bread would be baked--that would be the part of posting it).
Thanks for sharing and best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan
