What do you think is the hardest part of writing a poem?

The beginning

leaves me spinning

where to start?

horse before the cart

this makes sense

don't sit on the fence

plunge right in

a tale you can spin

it's easy to rhyme

if you take the time

to just let it flow

give it a go

the words come easy

light and breezy

be careful though

you don't want to blow

it

and look like a rambling

twit

and instead of casting a spell

you end up with doggerel

The beginning definitely.

As HP said, slowing down is tough. Letting the poem come to you is a lot harder than knowing what to do with it after you've started (at least that's my experience).

Sometimes it doesn't end I have one poem that is still in progress after seventeen years--which is a bit frustrating.

I don't have a problem writing if I feel inspired or moved about something, it is posting I sometimes don't have the nerve to do. It really makes me nervous...it's like you are standing there naked, not knowing if you look good or have really ugly feet.

slowing down and letting it happen naturally...force kills words and can take over the tone and flow of the words....it's all about the words, so I was told

the hardest part is usually the desk.

The end for me.

I ALWAYS have trouble ending .... poems.

Ya dig?
