Once I finish watching the video, I put it on paper. Usually I only edit due to typos or some other foolish reason I put words where I didn't intend them to be. The poem usually forms in my mind one or two lines at a ***?me, and that is how they are put down. When in a mood like this, I will tend to think in rhyme, and either in ballad stanza or tetrameter couplets, and the biggest problem I encounter is to keep it consistent and switch back and forth. Sometimes after reading it aloud I will rearrange words or change something, ****? not often. Maybe if I did, I would get better. Edit: I don't think what I write is all that ****?d, and am proud that others like it a bit.

It's getting it down before it all disappears which is the hard part...and usually, I don't manage it and have to finish the poem by myself...which is where the change, arrange, exchange bit comes in. And a poem can start off ***? one thing and become something completely different in the end. I reckon, if ever I was stupid enough to attempt to write a novel...I would be ***? surprised ***? the next man about how it all ends.

One of the reasons I keep an ample supply of paper in the house, most ends up in recycle. You are correct A+ for the teach and a ****?ny crisp apple.
