Question: Do you plan a poem or just let it ooze!?
*****
PLAN ‘Z’

Align ideas with precise geometry,
paying close care to capacity,
careful not to quash them,
…squash them,

State in phrases quite plainly,
regarding each one’s opacity,
careful not to cloud them,
…crowd them,

Conclude in cold calculation,
assigning a lie of complicity,
careful not to placate them,
…implicate them!.

What a great display of what is known as "Freudian slips" - who knows what they may mean - but to do it "on purpose" is pure genius ?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I just let it ooze!.That is why I will never be a great poet!.When I see something the words just come gushing out!.I hope in the new year I will have more time to study the different forms of poetry and be able to improve!.But it is hard to teach an old dog new tricks!.

I am afraid that I let the words ooze
Maybe it's because I am into the booze!.
Who am I kidding, I don't even drink
That is why all my poetry does stink!.
See what I mean, I only can rhyme
I'll try once more another time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm afraid mine just sort of ooze on out there!. I do like this piece of yours, though!. Makes me envious!.

Words come quickly, but sometimes they just ooze!.
Could this be related to one's consumption of booze!?
Not that moi would ever do such a thing!.
I like my phrases to just emerge and take wing!.

I'm STILL envious!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Some I plan extensively, some I plan minimally, and some just ooze, but most spout like old faithful, and if I'm not careful it all runs off before I get it all, then it winds up going in a different direction than it should!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

How DO you do it!?

Ooze!? Like a festering wound!? Spew would be more like it!. Then, this reactionary edits it for days, unless I'm in a mood, in which case, I let it explode!. I'm always sorry, afterwards!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It oozes and spews and sputters out!.
Shaken, stirred, extra dry no doubt!.
In metered rhyme or not, perhaps!.
Complete with punctuation, CAPS!.
Whatever form we choose to use,
Be it planned or let it ooze!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
