My head is mostly empty
Can’t think of a thing to say.
No muse is my only excuse.
Still, I’d like to write a good poem.
So I’m taking time to read
“how to” write correct poetry
But, it’s nearly driving me insane!
The do’s and don’ts are so mundane
What about let it flow?
That’s about all I know.
At this point,
La la la la la sounds good to me
Oh, maybe the part about
Make each line DO something
Will stick in time.
Maybe I’ll even learn the correct way
To rhyme.
For now, I’ll just enjoy the fun of it all,
reading other poets who KNOW
And those that don’t,
And are just like me
All we really want to do is
have fun,
And let it flow.

I know what you mean about your head being empty. That is the way I feel.

Hello Debra

I'm with you......just let it flow!  I don't have any specific formula for how I write and for all I know am probably doing it all wrong.  I am merely an amateur but my words and the words of others always bring me comfort and inspire me to write more.  The most important thing I have found is that the words come from the heart and soul, in the way you are most comfortable.

Take care......Sue

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Flow is fine by me.....I have conceded to
myself that I will probably always just be
myself....and never what the book thinks
I should be....

(big hugggsssss) Oh Debra, I believe with all my heart that the best way to write a poem is to have fun and be honest with what you feel too! (kiss on cheek) That is why your poems are always such a delight to read, sweet friend, you have fun and your heart always shines, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Debra, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
