Composition Sonnet
It takes a while to warm to the topic.
Start writing, see what comes out—no, scratch that,
I don’t want anyone reading that thought—
did it really come from me?—That’s more like
what I’m going for, let’s do some more of
the same: examples, some of which I get
so caught up in they gain momentum, let
them run free through the sheets, a kind of love!
Next morning, after I get out of bed
and eat and wash and dress and hear the news,
I read the reams of paper I composed
yesterday, drop most of the text I’ve read
and find the paragraph that I will choose
to expand a bit, and then it’s closed.
