~*~

Each day I write a poem or two
Or three or four or five
I write and write and write and write
For the pleasure I derive

Expressing self drains away
Sorrows and things bad
Leaving space for happy thoughts
Replacing sad with glad

Linda,

How true....or at least it will lead to another, perhaps deeper....I am so behind reading others I haven't had much time writing; that you manage both is remarkable....

but I know that about you for some time now.... grinning and smiling....

love your poetry...uplifting, and makes me think, too! Great combo...


Hugs and love, Pat

Pat ~

I usually write one or two a day, but some days, the creative juices flow very fast. I wrote 33 haikus and senryus in just one day!
That amazes even me! I think I must be channelling!     lol

Love & Huggums,
Linda

Wranx ~

Some days are more productive than others. I love it when I feel like I'm in the zone! There are days when that is definitely not the case! As for the frequency of your poetic thoughts, when they come through, you write masterpieces, DEAR POET !!!

Luvs 'n hugs,
Linda

(sigh) Oh Linda, this is beautiful, sweet friend, I too have many sad memories in me I like to get out but I also am an optimistic person and always like to mix it with the happy instead of writing long sagas of sad poems! (big hugggssssss) This is precious, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Drain the pain
And sing a song

A great piece, Im glad you can get out all those feelings.  I try to write what I feel everyday also but sometimes my brain doesnt connect with my pen.

Julie ~

Well, I may write a great deal, but believe you me, some are not what one would call Pulitzer Prize material!

~ May your pen and mind work as one!

Warm hugs,
Linda
