Advice not to be taken

they tell me not to write on this
the laptop
the computer

it won't be a poem they say
they say it's only possible
if you are out and about
like a landscape artist
with a notebook and pencil

they talk of the creative process
as if it is something different
from eating your toast and beans

they say anything
that pops up in their mind at that times
but pretend that when writing poetry
something else kicks in

but it doesn't

it's all automatic
even if you think it isn't

struggle am I
so they say
write and share them
that's the way

everything else is pretend
