For poetry, heÂ’s past his prime,
He takes an hour to find a rhyme;
His fire is out, his wit decayed,
His fancy sunk, his muse a jade.
IÂ’d have him throw away his pen,
But thereÂ’s no talking to some men.
-- Jonathan Swift ( 1667-1745.) Irish poet and satirist

In composing poetry it does no harm to create a few lines from natural inspiration. But donÂ’t overdo it lest you become mired down Â… Still, if a genuine feeling just flows out, this is of course much different than someone who seeks some run-of-the-mill verse.
