Pinning down a dream (almost)

"Writing poems 

can be a way of 

pinning down a dream (almost); 

capturing a moment, 

a memory, a happening; 

and, at the same time, 

it's a way of sorting out 

your thoughts and feelings.  

Sometimes 

the words tell you 

what you didn't know you knew."

 ~ Lillian Morrison,

in The Place My Words are Looking For

I love this description of writing poetry! It makes me want to grab a pen and notebook and go sit somewhere quiet where I can try to pin down a dream with my words. Have you ever felt this way about writing poems?
