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.
