Poem Commentary

This is a factual Poem, that I wrote about my beginning to write poetry, under duress of the diagnosis schizophrenia, and time to spare with not being able to work, i was asked if i would like to join a creative writing class, being offered by the then psychiatric services, under occupational therapy. I hope you enjoyed the read.

Take it One Step at a Time

At home alone i dwell, with diagnosis, none too well.
Things to do i find, exercise for the mind.
Rhyming stories to tell, into poetry i slowly fell.
Coming out of my lonely shell, I must learn to spell.


A dictionary in the hand, answers begin to land.
The spelling that i need, my mind begins to feed.
Each word a little seed, my arsonal to create the read.
Creating sentence in each line, my poem`s got a spine.
The thought i can actully write, I hope to be that bright.
So it has come to light, I will try with all my might.
A psycological fight, to write something devine.
A poem to signe.


What would you like to read, I wonder and inspiration ponderr.
Something of interest indeed, an interesting lead.
A writing is no good, without the readers desire to read.
The poem would fall alone, as if silent groan. 
Dropping like a stone, chills me to the bone.

Grammar the branch of language, linguistics.
Dealing with syntax, and morphology.
If i am mistaken, you have my apology.
Brings the poems lines, into social priority.
This rule applies, even metophorically.
I must learn to punctuate, properly.
Or the poem crashes, diabolically.

When to stop, pause, or start.
Punctuation, with it`s lovely art.
The poem is read, as it would have been said.
Coming to the end, no more words to blend.
It`s time to go, no more poem to show.
If you like poetry, well then have a go !

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
