Thanks! I work for hours and hours on a poem like this one. I started the instant the prompt was posted and didn't finish the poem until five days later. I write a few words, watch, research, ponder, write a few more words, until I have pages and pages of snippets. My working title for this was "I'm not stupid" which helped as a goal. Then I tidied up the bits into short stand alone poems. Lastly I put those in order, and tinkered some more for transitions. It's very mechanical, and now I have some of @raj808's literary explanations to employ more often because to be honest I didn't know I was employing so many of them until he pointed it out! I'm learning a lot here. What else is there to do? lol A free imaginative writing education on Steem, soon to be hive.
They are a lot of work! Hours of worrying nothing will ever come of all that, it's just a bunch of jibberish. But eventually the poem takes shape, and that's a major rush.
Thanks so much for your continued support! I haven't seen an entry from you. Gonna go look again and hope I find one.
