Im not sure who Wordsworth is, but I agree with that dude.
My emotions can get pretty erm, intense(for lack of a better word), poetry for me is like an out-of-body high; it's also very much a therapy for me as well. Alot of times I just close my eyes think of words and put them down with no real understanding of what im trying to say. Usually after about a stanzas worth I sit on it and analyze what I'm saying, and either I figure it out and build on it or I dont figure it out at all. Other times I reflect on my past experiences, things that linger in my conscious mind and I try to make it linger no more haha. Few times I imagine a movie scene or something similar. Even fewer times(pretty much never) I actually have a concrete idea formed and my pen flows golden streaks of beauty. Is what it is.
