Analysis of Throwing Words
Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)
I throw some words together
To see what thought they make.
It's like a game that never
Gets boring as I take
The time to be creative
In ways not tried before.
Like speed chess with words related
I form new thoughts and more.
I sometimes think of music
That plays inside my mind.
A great help when I choose it,
Spontaneously designed.
