Being a poet
Is drooling at times
and excruciatingly so
Sometimes the words don't come
out so clearly,
,sometimes you think you
feel a bit quizzy, just trying to
find words to put on the paper,
Sometimes we draw lines instead of write words
sometimes we make little smiley faces
and oh how so cute!
Poetry comes from deep within ,and so often
we are spared the feelings that we share
to each other, we do write
hoping the words will be a delight,
Sometimes the words don't come so easy
sometimes they come much to quickly
leaving us lost in a daze
but whatever the reason it is that I write
I have to present this and keep up the fight.
For even if the words are not magic upon
this paper they are magic to my soul.

So true! It's not always easy, but it is so personally rewarding when the words all come together, isn't it?

Rosebud,

No one ever said poetry was easy.  It is a struggle at times, but the effort is worth it when our words touch another's heart.  That is the best reward we can receive as poets.  This was neat!!

Rosebud...
          You know....the very last 2 lines of this wonderful poem are so very powerful, that all I can say is.....Keep writing, keep writing, for you have the magic inside!!


Today is a gift....
That is why they call it
'the Present'!
