Poeming

First a word,
then another.
Begin at the top,
the first line’s the key
to what lies below. A thought
or a scene floats in the mind, is put
to paper, honed down to just the essentials
Tell a story or simply string words to form visions,
beauty, enlightenment, or emotion for all those who read.

Well shoot, I seem to have this "anonymous" thing going on, Judy. Again, it's me.
