So I sit Wondering Where did the words go? Pen to paper And what do I see? Flowers, names, clouds But no words My thoughts like confettii Tiny scraps blowing in the breeze Bits and pieces of dreams Puzzles missing parts Beaches with no sand So why cant I write? Am I too happy? Too sad? Has this well run dry? Am I destined now Ever to be the reader? A soul lost Without this release It was never a talent Just a need But oh the rush When the words flow And now? Now its like a dripping faucet Never enough to satisfy Just enough to annoy And I cant write Cant dream Cant fly Cant see Where am I? |

a familiar scenario for all of us, Paula! Muses are ducks in a shooting gallery...we just have to keep the gun aimed and wait for one to show up....they always do  |

Getting that muse kick-started is sometimes most difficult... and then it just takes off... well done! |

I would like to be a poet without words too if in the end something will appear as it did above. No words indeed, but a beautifull poem. Titia |

No poet likes being here. It's a poetic preach on writer's block. O Morning...wrap yourself around me today. Let me experience the peace I see in you. |
