When I am alone I have the right to voice aloud The newest words I’ve created just to make me proud The freedom to talk of things with such bliss and ignorance With relief there’s no one to tell me that I'm not making sense I love to roll off my tongue such pretty little words Of two or three syllables no matter how absurd That little feeling in myself that makes it all worthwhile To see them coalesce take their form of meter and of style As soon as they are there they flit away from my head For there are new words and rhymes just waiting to be said Stationary seems never needed to be close at hand I was to take down these thoughts who would care to understand It was at night when this dreamy thought had come to me Awake from slumber there a pen to write down hurriedly As my wife called me back to bed my head hanged down low What were those thoughts so grand so bright might be ill never know [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 07-11-99).] |

Quite fabulous, walt! I enjoy one who can write about his own writing! And with great emotion too! ------------------ ~one voice~ For Myself, I live, Live intensely and am fed by life, and my value, whatever it be, is in my own kind of expression of that. *Henry James |

Hey wayout! I recently posted a poem called "hide & seek" on same subject.... ain't it the truth, my friend? Damn her, that Muse... playing with rhymes and words, then snatching 'em away before you get a chance to write them down. Nice one. -dp |
