Michael Dennis : part four


How does a poem begin?
For me a poem can come from anywhere.  It sounds so obvious and trite, but the truth is I’ve carried a notebook with me since I was a teenager.  Anything that catches my eye goes into the notebook, at least it does when I’m diligent.  But I’ll write a poem on any piece of paper that happens to be near if an idea hits.  I often don’t know where a poem is going to start but I am always working towards the ending.  My poems begins with me having an end I want to get to.
