Client Centered Poetry

Welcome to your first poetry session.
You will be given unconditional regard and always listened to.
Tell me what you want to rhyme about today…
I hear what you are saying.
Elaborate on that a bit more and
try using a standard haiku syllable count …
Why do you think that is? … 
How does that make you feel? …
Where in your body of poetry do you feel that? …
Rhyme a bit about that …
Mmmmmm …
Wow …
Really?
What do you say to that in iambic pentameter? …
So, you are saying that your poetry lacks rhythm? …
Why do you think that bothers you? …
I wish I could, but I can’t write your poem for you …
Would you like a tissue to wipe your tears? …
You kinda feel like the poem isn’t coming to you easily enough …
Mmhmmm …
And if you have trouble of this kind, you feel other poets judging you? …
And you feel this over other feelings of accomplishment? …
That seems a little harsh on yourself, doesn’t it? …
And what you want to feel is that rhythm and rhyme sweet spot. Right? …
If I tell you what to write, then it won’t be your poem. Will it? …
I know your understand that …
Can you summarize for me the conclusion you’ve reached about your poem? …
What would you like to work at home this week? …
Do you feel like that is enough practice? …
OK, bye, now.
