Experimental Poetry

Experimental poetry,
Try it,
Write a word,
A word like porridge,
Or traffic, or pillow, or nibs,
Then allow your mind to drift,
Don't let borders or edges stop the flow,
No bottom or top here,
No margins at all, imagine that,
Imagine a hook, now hang a word off it,
See what it attracts,
Create a new way, become that other person,
Failure has no place here,
No opposites, only attractions,
Imagine that,
See what develops, don't give up,
A pile of words ready to be played like a piano,
What word tune will you make?
Your very own word play,
Piano words,
What would Mozart have written with his words?
What would Beethoven have made of it?
Words have no beginning or end,
Dive in with your pen, somewhere in the middle,
You are unique,
Share it,
Use it.

I should try it, because organized poetry escapes me right now.
