One Good Line


I need to write
with urgency
yet nothing in my day tells a story
no pain upon my heart beats
nor does love occupy my mind
not dwelling on losses
the why or why not
or dreaming of anyone
past, present, future
there is no passion to this day
but there is calmness
and I know I should be grateful
for a break in the storm
it just seems a bit too quiet
after the driving rain
I find no inspiration here
though aware of the reprieve
I’d trade it for one good line
towards poetic ecstasy

So write about the calmness! I'm sure you can do that because you just did such a good job explaining how you got there......You got more than one good line left...it'd be more like good writing time!

What writer wouldn't?  I think most of us would, but it can't be forced, it has to come to you.  Nicely done, JLR.

All writing comes
by the grace of God.

It is true that without drama, it is hard to find inspiration. But you have found it, nonetheless.

Only one good line you needed and yet you gave us nineteen beautyful ones.
