Free Verse Poetry

I think poetry has to be an emotional thing. You can't just sit down and say "Hey! I'm going to write a poem!" You have to be in some kind of emotional state, be it sadness, frustration, anger, anxiety, or happiness.

Today I'm feeling rather neutral. I could write about how I hate my job. Or I could just as easily express my excitement for this upcoming weekend!


It's always easier to plan for something.
You talk about how great it'll be
How much fun you're going to have!
But not right now, when the time comes.
Right now you need to plan!
You need to focus!
Get your affairs in order!
Now is the time for planning, not action!

But what do you do when it's time to act?
