Attack when a poem attacks at six in the morning and demands to be written …I think of you hands forget what they were doing itch for pen and paper … and I am a dying leaf storms of words buzz my head aching me ...clinging to a dream twig fuzzy eyes seek anything I might recognize …I tremble coffee gurgles into the pot smelling of possible scraps of sanity …waiting for a careless spring breeze foot trips poem screams WRITE ME …to float me cat cries FEED ME …where I can rest poem consumes me |

I think we are living in the same place. A place where sleep is a luxury not to be had, lol. I really like this; it captures a poet's real feelings at the darker hours of the day. There's nothing fruity in it to slow me down or take away from the effect. But then again, nothing you do is fruity. It is pure realism; I love that.

A true poet you are...when the words burn to be written and you are up to your elbows in something else! I always get inspired when I'm driving. By the time I get a moment, the muse is off in a corner laughing at me. I really liked this. ! ~ Karen |
