Arlene Corwin Poetry

I’ve decided to respond to those who sweetly ask how to write a poem. I’m not the best. There is no best. Arrest your own particular talent and bring it to its crest.✍️🎯

You can be sure
That what you feel we all feel too
And what they’ve felt you have felt also.
We are a hub within diversity
And can identify.
That’s great!
You query what to write about.
I say you all have lots of thoughts,
Hundreds, thousands, endless thoughts.
Your reference and your library,
Future though that be.

So I say emulate, read, be honest!
You have much to say.
Thought-in-word infinity.
Doubts to share. love that’s there nature, air:
Boundless ware.
For nothing’s new beneath our sun.
Write, write, write each, every one.

Repetition is the key.
It’s all rehearsal, change and tinker.
Keep on learning, letting in the tutelage you hanker after.
Carry paper on your person. Write down phrases.
You’ll go through a thousand phases
Till one day you find a style’s come slinking through.
It’s evolution.

All’s gear to set the brain a-working.
All’s a training.
There’s no need for more explaining.
Yes, you can be sure
The poem will be just you and your…
Your poetry.
