The words
are spilling out
like a waterfall.

Gushing over the edge
the roaring rush of water —
strong
enough to sweep you away.

The sense of calm and serenity
behind a curtain of such force
hidden away
from the rest of the world.

Yet other times
the words trickle out
as if rationed:
drip,
drop.

Lucy (The Egg Girl) can write like 10 poems in one day and no poems in 10 days, there is no in-between. What’s your writing flow like? These five were written in one go, from one poetry prompt: A-poem, E-poem, I-poem, O-poem, U-poem. She thinks that you should check out Debdutta Pal’s “I have million things to say but nothing to write about”.
