Art of the Craft (Poem)

Just a writer's thoughts...

The energy flows from my mind

To the carefully crafted words that I rhyme

Picking and choosing

My mind a thesaurus

Winning and losing

Through verses and chorus

In yoga, the impulse of the body mind is viewed as bubbles in a well of water in the individual. These bubbles break surface and then vaporize to the opening of the well where they make contact with the person who then relates these impulses to his known thesaurus of issues and he thereby assigns a word or expression to them.

You may note that there are specific points at the start of the bubble, during its rise, surface point, well opening and then the contact with you. Yoga views all such points as other minds of the individual that may or may not be related to others.

This creates the opportunities for self awareness by the individual and may also relate to the environment. There are similar studies in Zen buddhism that's helpful. You'll have to coin a new word for your specific process. Its appears like a koan or haiku but not quite.

This is what we previously referred to as the current and the now.

Thank you for that! Yea it's just creative flow I see my process as... It's like you get in this zone and things just make sense... Not all my poems were written in the 'zone'.... Thanks again!

I like what you have so far. I think you're unto something very good here. I did suggest you add a couple lines capturing the whole essence of "Art of the Craft" more, and end on a much stronger note. Just a suggestion. Thanks for the read. Keep it up.

[Damien Davison]

It is definitely a possibility. I'll see what I can do! Thanks for the review!

I love this. Simple and yet to the core of poetry. Loved the rhyme of thesaurus and chorus, good work there. A tourist's mind, flitting through a thesaurus to find, some kind of rhyme that might define, this chorus of thoughts I hear all the time lol Sorry, random. I do that sometimes. Anyways...love this poem of yours, saving it to my favorites for inspiration.

[Damien Davison]

Awesome man! I appreciate the great review, I'm glad it would be able to inspire you! No worries about the random rhyme freestyle, it's always good to hone your skill at any given opportunity :P

[MachinaWriter]

lol I feel the same way, man. And it was no problem, I enjoyed it, man.

[Damien Davison]

I appreciate it bro, thanks again!
