Should I throw every random thought that arises in my mind
In my notebook or on my notes app, so that I can find
Ideas to research, write about, or explore in more detail
At a later time, when I am trying to write but fail
To come up with a verse that sounds coherent
Should I curate every odd idea with this intent?
*
Throughout the day, to my mind ideas spring
I am convinced I can remember, but do not remember a thing
By the time I sit down to pen my thoughts
Turns out my memory reliable is not
*
When I try to write everything down, the list appears
So disjointed and haphazard that I fear
In chasing different ideas I would get lost
More time and energy this method would cost
Compared to racking my brain for an idea new
Now I am unsure of what to do..
*
Let me, just for a day, try this experiment
Write down every idea with the intent
Of later retrieval, so that I do not
Run out of interesting ideas and thoughts
Let them help get my creative juices flow
And for my writing effort have something to show
Passion...unbridled
