I used to be too analytical of how I wrote. Concentrating on rhyme and syllables to the point of OCD.

But for the past year or so I've written automaticly. What I have literally done for the past 10 or more poems I've posted on here is opened a yahooka window, typed as fast as my fingers can keep up with my thoughts, went over for punctuation/spelling errors, named it and posted it.

A lot of times I'll go on my front porch for a cigarette and just sing in my head(day-time), out-loud(night-time) and whatever I can remember I write down. Though those poems I like to leave to the universe, as they are gifts, and I'd rather not try to denaturalize(is that a word?) them.

I believe there is a state or trance you can go to, where another entity or spirit or however you want to describe it, comes up to you and just channels itself through you. Sometimes I can get really into it, sometimes I only catch shadows or the after-math of it. I believe creativity is not with-in a person, but rather the person is the translator for it.
