[quote=@Etcetera] Poetry isn't a technical art; you can write it quickly if what you're saying means something. It doesn't have to have perfect meaning, because it's the [i]message[/i] that makes true poetry, not the rhymes or rhythms you use. Doing it just to speed-write will result in a shallow poem with no depth or complexity. [/quote] This is what meaningful writing I could get out in 5 minutes. Lightning crackles through the air and sings A song too slow for anyone to hear But soon enough within our ears it rings The lightning dulled to nothing but a blear. I considered trying to make another two lines, but couldn't think of anything for after "The facet of the storm that is its king." Alas.
