When I read an article, I start with the introduction and end
With the conclusion, but when I write I upend
The sequence-somewhere in the middle I start
During bursts of inspiration, I complete an arbitrary part
Of the article, my article gets constructed bit by bit
Just as pieces of a jigsaw puzzle I would fit..
*
If I were to start by writing the introduction, I’m afraid
I would not get very far, my enthusiasm would fade
Before I got to the crux of my article, therefore
I begin from somewhere in the center, the core
The next section I then arbitrarily choose
In this way my momentum in writing I do not lose
*
This seemingly haphazard way works well for me
It lets me complete my articles rather quickly
Since they are written piecemeal, my articles need
Considerable editing to make them worthy of a read
*
As a final thought, let me just say
It would not be as much fun if I did it any other way!
