How it works:
Use the following quote in your poem anywhere:
Add more of you to who you are
and you'll be able to travel far
It could be at the beginning, in the middle, at the end -- anywhere that suits you. You could even repeat it as often as you like, it is entirely yours to play with.
Notes:
Yes, this is improv so let it flow and yes it is poetry because improv is more than acting and because this site is intended to be a full tilt creativity generator.

-- doug smith
in a dream
she wrote a revolutionary
novel
one chapter at a time like
visions trickling thru her hair
wondering "what did he mean when he said that..."
and
writing it all down
turned the storm walls of calling
into
the dream walls of joy
"what if novels didn't have to be sad?" she said
-- doug smith
we do not always (read: seldom) have
choices or
opportunities to call
chances for how
the outcome arrives
alive in expectations we
genuflect gyrations to
promises unkept and either swept or
wept away
you swept me off my feed all
enthusiastic and smiling (a smile that
feels endless) ending
spending our hearts ration of
rational being
beating so out of tempo either
two hundred beats per minute
or paused to a stop
--- douglas brent smith
