it’s not all write

 it’s not all write


to write to a theme

or to a prompt

is to bastardise one’s art 


to compete for a glittering prize

is to prostitute one’s art


spontaneity brings tomorrow today

the roof of a cavern collapsing

into a subterranean river

sunshine and all

in every facet of a precious stone


the fun of poetry is its life force


or so the poem wrote
