Like you say, it is a start! That which comes unaided from within is purer than thoughts filtering through the brutal light of day. Yet it is in the light of day we are known and measured. Keep at it, you're on your way. Rgds, Ivan
Bless you. My son passed from a heroin overdose 5 years ago. Thank you for your encouraging words
No left brain input, that's evident! Eschew that brutal light of day at any cost! Free verse goes back a long way, you know that, of course you do! Read Walt Whitman! Now his stuff is really deep and profound! Hell, go back to the *Song of Solomon* and taste Biblical free verse! I don't know that verse which comes unaided from within is purer than that which is filtered through the left brain! You decide that on your own, but continue reading good stuff and writing!
