I write because I want to create And words are the easiest I want to create Things of utility Things of beauty But nothing I create Feels useful I can only write Write words, string them together Break them across lines Pretend it is poetry Because today I want to create Therefore I wrote I dont care if this is not useful

Fair enough. You might want line 12 to be 'because today I wanted to create' - just to keep tense consistency with the line after.

This is pretty good. 'And words are the easiest' is rather cack-handed (the easiest what/of what). I like 'break them across lines'.

Thanks Ranger! Point taken. Will make the change in the revised version.

Thanks Howl. I agree. I am thinking of a suitable line to clarify my intent.
