Response to How Poems Arrive

After reading this poem, I think it is trying to say that poems are not descriptive writings which is why it says “ The ways of words are tight and selfish ways” on stanza 6 and “ otherwise, write prose.” In stanza 7. It describes how many of us read poems and never really inderstand the meaning behind It in the first reading, but actually take time find the intentions, the message, and meaning of a poem when we have felt like almost worn- our our brain to figure it out. It speaks in the idea that a poem is more of a personalized peace and are compared to love.
