Wayne Mason : part five

How does a poem begin?

A poem usually begins as a simple word or phrase stuck in my head like a song… usually at work where my body is at but my mind is far from. Then eventually the line hits paper with a slew of other words, a mess of words, it is far from a tidy process as the only priority is getting it all out. It is only after some cutting and editing the the poem starts to reveal its true shape.
