When I am wracked by strong, ardent emotions
Like grief, sadness, happiness and anger
I pull from its midst, the most twisted inspiration
And from there create a simple piece of art
And when I am calm and complacent by far
I'd need the help of word banks and prompts
They offer a challenge to words my mind wars
I release my thoughts on paper and pen
My poetry varies from style to subject
Dark to light and rhyme to free
I write from the heart and whatever affects
The flow and the rhythm of thoughts in my head
The world through my view, a look through my eyes
My opinions and ideas, mirrored in my words
Delve through the reason and its initial guise
It's not too intricate, I haven't gone that far
Random words stringed together to form a thought
Laced with fragrant metaphors and flow
Fantasies from my wildest dreams I've brought
Another world, another realm

Excellent
It's not very often that someone writes about how effective a cathartic process writing is. It's a basic rhyme scheme, but it suits this poem really well. I like very much.

Excellent!
Now this what I tell my grandson all of the time. Writing from the heart. Writing whatever comes to mind, this is true poetry. I love this. Keep on doing what you do, it is the way to do it. Granny Gee
