A Ramble through Smilie Land

Since this is a blog and not a thinngy thread I get to be as rambley ( ramblous ( what is the adjective of ramble anyway?) I am going about his the long way if you want to get to he point scroll down to the * , this was your only warning.

So I started thinking sometime in the middle of last night well actually to start before that obviously been writing a bit more than usual, this is mainly I direct result of having too much free time on my hands and certain people being around again and my competitive streak. Plus some people are always telling me to write more. Or to write down the stuff in my head so anyway.
As around about effect of a conversation i was having yesterday I got an idea for a poem, but since its an idea rather than word s its kind of taking its sweet time shaping up, which is well annoying truth ti tell, but that is always the way so it got me thinking.

* Usually when I come up with a poem its becaue either the words have whispered themselves into my mind for days and just forced themselves out my finger tips almost fully formed Athena like. Or A word or combination of has caught my fancy and Ive played about with it resulting in a poem. But then sometimes you get an idea, and it says Ooh you know what ? I would make a good poem if you could find a format, or don’t you really want to say this? Express.
So I was wondering writers, scribblers and poets do you choose what you will write about and force it to your will or does it come to you and use you as a channel?
