Writer's Block A tear fell on the paper It smeared the ink that had not yet time to dry This paper with the words I wanted to send but, did not have the courage to finish This paper that held all the secrets I was willing to share A piece of paper made from a tree that was probably a hundred years old chopped down by a human termite Now it lays before me ready to recieve my ink Ready for me to claim my place on the surface of what was once a living and breathing thing And I am stymied by words that can no longer live up to being worthy enough to place upon this crown. I wipe the page dry and let the ink penetrate while I take time to contemplate before I lay my pen upon such aged grace c2002SimplyGold |

There's a new way to think of writer's block!  God bless America, my home sweet home. |

  (sigh) Oh my gosh, this is such a wonderful way to think of writers block, now just follow your heart and call your dreams exterminator to rid those termites! (big hugggssssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!

Yes, so humbling is the experience of knowing that a significant piece of nature provides that piece of poetry's puzzle... And I thought you had writer's block.... Me thinks not! |

TGFC [thank goodness for computers] I have several blank journals... for some reason, I feel my words linked together are never quite good enough to go in them... so I appreciate the write of this... |

Sunshine, for all of our sakes please write in those journals. Do not let that paper go to waste. You must do it justice for us. Nothing can ever replace a book in hand, a piece of paper to the poet is sacred. A journal a treasure. Your journal will be of great value to all who have the good fortune to read it. |
