Can you freestyle?

[chiliabowl1998]

Yes. I love to freestyle.

[Alexandra Bayer]

I have to think about it. Then change it. I can't just spew it out.

At beginning i am freestyle, at the end i make changes to the complete poem.

I rarely write poetry but when I write fiction stories I never plan.
I always just write and it's like the story gets bigger the faster I type and when i'm finished of course i'd go through the story at the end and do any editing or fix anything not properly worded.

[SignoreTaco]

it honestly depends on my state of mind. For example, at school i went to the holocaust museum and the minute i got home i wrote this awesome poem in about 15 minutes, whilst other times its taken me an hour or even days to write a poem or story. it really depends.

I like freestyling a lot, but it can really have varied results. Sometimes the freestyle will be awesome and sometimes it's complete crap.

Same here. While free-styling is very fun and, at times, therapeutic, the results are iffy. I would never try to pass off my freestyle work as actual poetry for anyone else to read unless I had polished it first.

If the poem/inspiration just hits me, then yes I can freestyle a poem. Most of the time inspiration strikes and I'll get varied degrees of freestyle and thought out lines.

[Anna Meyer]

Yes, that's the way I love it. When you are inspired and start writing from your heart and keep writing as the words comes up from inside. I write till it stops. Mostly when I want to express myself in a way only on paper and not with anyone else. Sometimes when I need to encourage someone to whom I will give it to afterwards. I tend to think that most poems expresses the feelings and thoughts of the writer at that point of time or season.
