    My poems are created from phrases that beat at the inside of my head for a few weeks.

      No, they're not. The phrases get stuck in my head and I write them down along with whatever else come to mind, then I cross out the crap and see what I have left, and at some point a poem comes out.

    That is pretty much what I do, too, or at least my poem's centre is what I am actually thinking about that's trapped in there, then I have to construct a dumb poem around it.

    That happens to me a lot! The bad part is though, I like to base my poem off that phrase --like Cibtastic-- and I can't think of anything else that goes well with it! So there you have it, crappy poems by me with just ONE good phrase in perhaps each of 'em!

      I actually do that too. My most recent poem, Superfluous Senses, was based on the last stanza. I wrote everything else around it.

      I think if you are used to it and practice it, you can get good at it.

      Just takes time, I think.
