Start with the basics -
Heavy doses of imagination, sprinkled with delicately balanced wordplay
A few ounces of wit, wherever possible,
Creativity found in the insides of your very being,
Rhyming schemes, if one were so inclined.
If you are a natural,
The recipe for the magic combination will be as easy as making the perfect pesto.
If you are not,
As is most often the case,
Prepare for the trials and tribulations,
The stream of self loathing and disappointment,
The digging and digging and digging
Until someday,
When you barely expect it,
You strike gold,
Liquid gold flowing from pen to page,
Perfect in every way.
When that day comes,
Remember to be humble,
Acknowledge the strife and joy alike,
And rejoice for the words!
