WHEN LINES POP INTO YOUR HEAD
GET UP AND WRITE THEM DOWN
IF YOU DON'T YOU CAN BET
THEY'RE NOT GONNA HANG AROUND
IF YOU DON'T YOU'LL FORGET
ELUSIVE AND YET PROFOUND
BETTER NOT TO REGRET
HAVING AN ALTERED SOUND
THE REMNANTS THAT REMAIN
ARE NEVER QUITE THE SAME
Author's Notes/Comments:
FOR THE SECOND LINE AN ALTERNATE LINE POPPED UP
YOU BETTER WRITE THEM DOWN
OR
YOU'D BETTER WRITE THEM DOWN
MIGHT BE THE MORE CORRECT WAY OF SAYING IT BUT I PREFER
YOU BETTER WRITE THEM DOWN
BUT SINCE I GOT UP TO WRITE THIS ONE I LEFT IT ALONE
AS IT RANG MORE TRUE
I TEND TO STICK WITH THE ORIGINAL VERSE AND JUST WRITE IT AS IT COMES ALONG BUT OCCASIONALLY I WILL CHANGE IF IT SOUNDS BETTER TO ME SOMEWAY BUT NOT USUALLY...IT FEELS MORE LIKE CHANNELING TO ME SO I'D RATHER LET IT BE...I OFTEN WONDER IF POETRY IS CHANNELING THE WAY THE LINES COME QUICKLY I FEEL MORE LIKE A SECRETARY OF SORTS CAPTURIING THEM BEFORE THEY DISAPPEAR....WEIRD
I STUCK WITH THE FIRST LINE FOR THE TITLE BUT WAS CONSIDERING YOU BETTER WRITE THEM DOWN...I THINK I WILL CHANGE IT TO YOU BETTER WRITE THEM DOWN AS I LIKE THAT LINE AND DID NOT USE IT SO IT CAN STILL BE PART OF IT...SOMETIMES I THINK I THINK TOO MUCH...THAT IS ANOTHER POEM I RECORDED ON SOUNDCLOUD A WHILE AGO...TRUE...IT'S IN MY POEMS RECITED BY ME PLAYLIST ON THERE.
