A Poem is Born

By Nandita Dammur 

When an experience is experienced
It latches to a thought

The thought whirls down
And loops to the heart

The heart shudders and flutters
mincing out emotions

The emotions well up the heart
and words are shaped

These words grow heavier with every breath
Until they tumble on to the paper

And then a poem is born
