The rule of this thread is simple and slightly cruel. Set a timer for ten minutes, write a poem, post it before you can second guess yourself. No editing after the timer, typos and all

The point is not to produce your best work. The point is to shake loose the perfectionism that stops half of us posting anything at all. Rough poems have a pulse that polished ones sometimes lose

I will go first in the replies to prove I am willing to embarrass myself too. Any form is welcome, rhyming or not, and gentle feedback only please since nobody signed up for a workshop mauling
