How to write a poem #6

sit, stare, or move, up to you.  Get that first line down right away, and don't lose it.

You could start one sharp line, short, then build your next lines.

I used to go short, then long, distress signal, but even all short, or, all long are good.

Trust yourself.  Best to not know anything, not even really try, just open.

You could make a tidy poem by coming back and fitting the premise you established into the end.

Determine your language to be uncommon to daily speech, and fitting to poetry.

Don't use heavy, big words, but use it like practical math.

Good luck.  Do it!
