is poetic hairball a sufficient way to explain/express a write that is just a compilation of all the things that's been caught in the "throat" of the heart/soul/mind that you "cough up" every so often?

@Lostpoet i understand that, but this is more a maybe a collage. something created from all the broken little leftover bits still swirling around from other writes.
Ezra Pound used to write his stanzas on individual pieces of paper and then he would rearrange them like puzzle pieces to try and make them fit, you can try doing something like that?
@Lostpoet i have actually done that a few times, it was very interesting.
for whatever reason i just keep falling into the habit of naming the types of pieces. my best so far is inkletting. similar to bloodletting but it gets out all that emotion that if left unexpressed can go sour and spoil.
She holds me down - with her - sad, sad, frown Red lipstick, white nightgown - she is the cream - I swirl in thick She makes me love - sound of coffee drip
I am again - the boy lost in lust - she is my sin - she is my crutch I shall never love - love this much - she pulled me out - of the darkest pit She clothed my skin - she made me fit
She took me in - when I was lost - she brought me back from my darkest thoughts - thoughts of suicide - a living hell - she made the world
A world worth living well - she is my queen - my own Jezebel - So I took to pen Just to write her this - and thank her for - bringing me back with a kiss
For the most part I came up with each refrain seperately and then put it all together.
