Thursday Poem: How to Write a Song


Think.
Be quiet.
Write.
Hum a melody.
Write more.
Wash dishes.
Walk away
from the song you think you love.
Sit down
for an hour,
maybe two.

Write.
Re-hum that melody
and be OK
with change.
Write.
Eat lunch
and feel it nourishing you.
Sit outside.
to think.
Then, write.

And at the end
when the sun sets again
and you're 
sick
and tired
of writing,
watch HGTV
and go to bed.
