I was recently asked this question, "How do you start to write a poem?". Well Ron, in most instances it starts with one of hundreds of one liners. A few words or a line comes to mind and they are added to a journal I began keeping years ago. That journal is perused for inspiration. Words may jump out and scream "Use Me!", or in some instances have yet to evolve into a poem. Here are a few contenders;
consummed in joy
my heart soars as I leave myself far below
I stayed too long
lamentations reach no ear
sexual ambiguities
past and present meld into one
love has a ravenous appetite
pay heed to what is in the rear view mirror
