                         My Discontented Spring



                         I need to get writing again
                         somehow
                         though I don't know the way
                         anymore
                         lost in the here and now
                         suspended

                         when someone would ask
                         "why do you write?"
                         I would always answer
                         simply
                         "it is merely me
                         exploring"

                         but since you have been
                         silent
                         I have heard nothing but
                         the wind
                         burying the footprints
                         that I was following





. . . and still, the silence . . . and the wind

I know this feeling very well, only I haven't written it yet.  It's good to see you!

I enjoyed the excellence of your art, but regret the sadness that gave birth to such a gem.

...a repost? ~ I'll read it! A second helping of Krawdad is never turned down by this fan of your writing! Whether you be in suspended animation or avidly exploring the tracks of the elusive.

I felt every word you wrote! Every single one of them, Sir Poet!

Bring up your oldies if need be! There are still fine fare!

Giving you a warm, welcome-back hug,
EA

We write because we don't know any better

You write like "someone who loves words, phrase yet like car-tune you can make an engine forget, it's number plate"

I have heard them too but could not describe them as you have. Thank you Krawdad.

LOL at toe's comment, but we really would enjoy some new musings from your pen, dear Krawdad. Have you a tale or two within that quill? or a quill or two within a muse's tail? something woodsy or from a hiking trail maybe?

Toe & Midnite . . .

Sometimes a thing can become so fragile that one dare not touch it.
I came back with a great deal of apprehension and at considerable risk of breakage.

I do appreciate your interest.  And Kacy, the last "trail" poem I wrote might not make it past the censors.  Perhaps there is a better one floating somewhere in the ink.


We'll see . . .
