TO WRITE POETICALLY WITHOUT EFFORT (is) A BEAUTIFUL WAY TO EXIST. I agree! There are many dimensions just beneath the surface of this statement.1) WITHOUT EFFORT is a blessed condition; it frees you from the egoism which often overwhelms writers - you're free because some force which is larger than just your ego is involved.2) POETICALLY means this is different from jotting in a diary - your focus is in the heightened use of language which is poetry.3) TO EXIST is a bottom-line statement that reveals nothing about quality but your experience is of the highest quality (see #1) so this is lived experience not just existence.
