Sweet lyrics lilting hide again As fervent feelings churn within Locution's lost - to my chagrin -What use is paper and my pen? A mighty torrent swells inside As swirling passions burning rise No finer time - some would surmise -Would flowing verse seek now to hide? Hid quite complete - to my dismay And frenzied search proves only vain What profit they - to cause such pain -To chide me with...'no more to say?' This poet's heart shall not know rest 'Till inspiration picturesque Returns to paper on my desk -This scribbling scribe 'till then's oppressed. A word steps forth - then's fastly gone But muse I will - however long 'Till wrested words play me their song -For golden glows creation's dawn. ------------------ Denise [This message has been edited by dsnyder (edited 10-06-1999).] [This message has been edited by dsnyder (edited 10-06-1999).] |

Well, Denise...I must say that I'd gladly get a case of writer's block if this were the end result. This is.....(how many adjectives are available?) brilliant, beautiful.... You know what I mean. I really like this poem yanno?  ------------------ "To waken doubt in one Holding so fast by thine infinity; So surely anchored on The steadfast rock of immortality." ...Emily Bronte, "Last Lines" |

You don't seem to have a writer's block to me either I wish my writer's block was overcome as easily and fluently as yours!!  Good one as always Denise.. ------------------ What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny, compared to what lies within us. ~Isis~ (Daughter of Mystery) |

Lovely use of descriptive words! I was surprised by your above-average grasp of words (I had to double check to make sure I wasn't reading a poem of Nans) Very nice!!! Izzyy PS I was NOT surprised that YOU wrote that way...just surprised thats all LOL (can I stick my foot any further in my mouth??) ------------------ "With love's light wings did I o'er-perch these walls; for stony limits cannot hold love out; and what love can do that dares love attempt."

I love the way you write! The words circle Every minute has a poem Someone will write it Dreams in lose-leaf diaries Stories on scratch paper A thousand ways to slant the meaning of a word Catch one The great white rectangle awaits the muse |

Denise, great poem, I've done that before, written a poem about writers block, but mine wasn't nearly as good as this one. ------------------ "Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage." -Billy Corgan- |

My goodness, I missed this. I could have used it the other day too, as I had the same thing. But you wrote about it and I couldn't think of it. LOL...great job for one having writers block! |
