Once.
Well, I did literally just write sixteen poems in two hours (wrote the instructions for 16 kinds of short forms in verse), but that was at work, so it doesn't really count.
I haven't made a real habit of poetry for about four years. Let's see how it goes...
Heh, I'm starting a little early. Just wrote a virelai to fill out a chapbook, and I kind of love it.
Ooh, Shiny!
What was I thinking, just moments ago?
I lost the thread as it sped to and fro!
How was I trav'ling and where would I go?
And people around me are staring...
Other folks keep to their topics, I know
They can stay steady and manage the flow
But me? I'm constantly erring!
I grab shiny things like a raven or crow
No, that's a magpie, they're all corvids, though...
Oh, blast, now I'm off again, raring!
Thoughts won't stay in order, above or below
I hope I can cover it, so it won't show
But inside, I'm kind of despairing.
What was I thinking, just moments ago?
I lost the thread as it sped to and fro!
How was I trav'ling and where would I go?
And people around me are staring!
