Sometimes you have a poem that you really want to write and it never happens.
A poem records emotions and moods that lie beyond normal language, that can only be patched together and hinted at metaphorically.
A poem might be defined as thinking about feelings - about human feelings and frailties.
The sort of poetry I seek resides in objects man can't touch.
I consider a poem to be a kind of experiment where a number of elements are brought together under test conditions to see how they will interact to create meaning or relevance.

I'm writing a poem right now about a nose. I've always wanted to write a poem about a nose. But it's a ludicrous subject. That's why, when I was younger, I was afraid of something that didn't make a lot of sense. But now I'm not. I have nothing to worry about. It doesn't matter.
When I have worries, fears or a love affair, I have the luck of being able to transform it into a poem.
I am no Poet here; my pen's the spout where the rain water of my eyes run out.
