old roses
now in bloom
a few petals fall
from the blue vase
caught by a poem

sometimes
sometimes
many years
needed to write
a poem
in a few minutes
I may think about something for a long time, write a few notes, and then a poem seems to write itself. Reading many authors also is a great help, and practice. Always learning.
