All good things to do, Jill. Have you read 'How Verses are Made' by Vladimir
Mayakovsky? He talks of walking out, striding out, as a basis for poems -
the rhythm getting into the body, the body getting oxygen to the brain, the
brain getting stimulated ... and the rhythm becoming the base of the
language expressing the stimulated brain :-) Walk! Walk! then Write! Write!
then Smile! Smile! then ... well, you know what to do to keep warm in chilly
climes.
Bon voyage -
Andrew
