Here is to Lovely Sundays

Pam Wesely's wrote well of writing and her words fit well my mood.

How to Write a Poem

She knows how to write a poem.
In her lonely lamplight, she scratched down some pointers.

"The subject can be anything, but it must be love.
Victorian love,
forced love,
unrequited love,
lost love,
unparalleled love.
All good poem must be about love.

Then, you get a technique.
Of falsified emotions,
of fabricated passions,
of lacy synonyms,
of flowery adjectives,
of repeating prepositional phrases,
of alliterations.
Everyone needs a technique.

You write like a Dickens.
You avoid dumb chiches.
You emulate Frost, Byron, Shakespeare.
You drop names."

She knew how to write a poem.
She just wondered why no one listened to her.

A lovely Sunday to you all,

Simone
