Write a Spontaneous Poem

Once upon a look at the sky...
And a chat with the moon
And a chill of the night
And a tear of the loneliest heart...
A voice became clear to me
So fine it almost melted
Upon the heat of my trepidation
So lovely I almost went blind
In a flash of white light
Like shock upon my skin
Like madness in a storm
Like cream floating to the top of my tea
You appeared.

This is a spontaneous poem.

We develop patterns,
doing things because we do those things,
thinking things because we think those things.

It's hard not to say the things we've said before.
It's Wednesday, so let's eat Prince spaghetti.

We're just being who we are.
It takes too much creativity to be someone else.

It takes too much energy to be spontaneous.
This is not a spontaneous poem.

Through oxidation
or fermentation
A pile of sawdust bursts into flame

also

Mary is gone and all that remains
is a charred ashen outline,
a shrunken skull,
and a portion of her left foot
