The Poetic Influence and the Physical Consciousness

Sometimes chandas are at the tip of my tongue but I’m unable to express myself in verse. Is there no way for me to learn?

Any necessary power may come with the sadhana – but many get the poetic impulse from within, but are not able to transcribe it in really good poetic form – it depends on how it comes out through the physical consciousness.
