Writing poetry

[busker]

I like to go to the library with coffee, a pencil, a notebook, and a pair of headphones.

I will pick up random books and flip though them while listening to music, and if something in a book excites me (usually just one or two words), I use it as a jumping off point to start writing.

That is when I make a conscious effort and block a chunk of time out to write, which I don't do enough.

Ah. The library. That’s another good place to write.
Unfortunately, it’s also the perfect place to sleep. It’s sufficiently warm to lull the reader into a stupor.
I think the English language is also to blame. The eye needs to scan too many words to take in very little
information. All of phonetic writing is a sham. Hieroglyphics and pictographs are so much more useful. Or cprsd wrtng lke ths, wch cnvys ll u nd 2 knw.

But that’s a subject for another thread
