This is not what I had planned to write ...

Poem Artwork


... knew I should have written it down,
the beginning of a poem, fragments of
words that wanted to be penned; they

blew away before I could do it, never
to be seen again, scattered to the four
winds.  Only have myself to blame.  It's

not my Muse's fault; something I have
to work on.  My procrastination leaves
you with this pitiful excuse:  forgive me.

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (10/18)

I'm sure it will return...usually when we least expect it our muse will allow those thoughts to resurface, we're all guilty!

I believe we are all guilty of this, but it only leaves room for other great ideas to emerge, but we have to remember to write those down, thanks for the write.

Well said Karen. If I'd written down all those I forgot, I could have covered the moon with the words; like buffalo roaming the praries, a jumbled mixture of wandering herds. Maybe someday they'll come back to us. We can always hope. God bless. Paul.

Sometimes words are like eels, very difficult to keep, and more you try to grab farther they go from your brain, until they are just a vague memory of something you wanted to say.
Perhaps not a good poem or phrases that you will have regretted afterwards, best they are goners.

Awwwww, sweet lady, no need to ask for forgiveness. You leave thoughts to ponder over no matter what you write. Stiff upper lip!

next time write down a few choice words or the beginning line and when you're ready to write the poem refer back to it andhopefully it will flow ... carry around a small notebook and of course, a pen ;)

This is a good example of an author getting rid of procrastination. You have turned "writer's block" into a piece of writing. Well done!

Perhaps the spontaneous is what was meant to be, it's good that you followed your instincts to write it! What you lost will recycle itself in your brain and come back eventually a bit different but same intent. Write on!

Know the feeling well dear Karla - but often what blows away is replaced by something that is meant to touch someone right where they need to be touched, at exactly the right time. An individuals writing and creating is something much more vast than just self satisfaction. You are always a blessing!

Forgiven . . . I think most of us are the same way. If we don't write it down we forget it. You did well with what you had to work with . . .

Whenever the muse strikes, you write. Don't worry how it may sound; as long as you have the inspiration, don't hesitate to get it down. I know how you feel; sometimes we have those days where our muse shuts down. That's okay. It will be ready for another day. Very well written poem, and no, this is not a pitiful excuse of a write: it shares with us the feelings you are currently experiencing, and that is good therapy. Keep on writing; don't worry what everyone else may think or who has the most reviews!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :(

((((((((MORE HUGS))))))))) (Just because I love you!)
