How to Write a Poem (or anything, really)
April 18, 2016
Start with writing everything about a moment
Something that was pinnacle
move backwards
Forwards
Outward from there
The beauty lies in how you paint the details
Spend time pouring over every single word
Everything is significant
Every letter
Every line
All empty space can be something beautiful

Dedicated to an old teacher of mine, who taught me how to write again after I convinced myself that I wasn't any good at it.
