Here is an excellent way to start the day. On waking, sit up immediately and write down the first three words that come into your head.The trick is not to think about it, and just let the words happen. Surprising trios emerge.
I then try to make a haiku, where each word is included in a different line. This morning I wrote paw duvet window.
I can't see it being my most exquisite poem.
Poetry and printing, words and ideas, haiku, horses, and the natural world.

Sorry, but that's just the way things were this morning!
(Heavenly blue Farrow & Ball painted bedroom, dead arm from sleeping awkwardly and a pressing need to go to the bathroom!)
This morning the three words were:
ReplyDeletepub
pool
phew
(I dreamt that the house next door had been turned into a pub and my garden into a swimming pool, and then realised that this was not the case ...)
