              Getting The Speck of An Insight Or Phrase

A nutty thing!

You get the speck of an insight or phrase,

A phrase or an insight and ideas flow in,

The ideas flowing on.

You hadn’t a notion before you began

And then it evolves

And envelops development.

Draft roughly scribbled on anything handy.

You must catch that flow while you’re randy

Because if you stop

The ideal nonpareil will not pop,

And you’ve lost out a drop

In that ocean of flow

Which may not come again

In the same way as now.

This poem could be labeled

The flow of the now,

Which this ‘now’ is a nano-

The breath of a ‘know’.

What the heck

It’s a speck that’s a speck anyhow.

So look at the title

And read it right through

Or peruse or just browse,

Read aloud as you choose.

An insight of anyone’s worth a good reading,

We all needing art.

That ‘s the view of this poet and ring

Of the nutty thing

She scribbled down at the start.
