A Poets Nightmare
~~~*~~~
 
I feel like I have a quill in hand
Virgin parchment before me

the inkwell is full, yet I am unable
To scribe my thoughts

there is no inspiration in my heart,
No matter how hard I try

 I sit here wondering why
I feel like I am wedged
In an uncreative thought

WILLIAM, I KNOW BY NOW YOU MUST KNOW THAT SOMETIMES CREATIVITY FLOWS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. REMEMBER OUR 'GIFT' IS IN THE 'GIFT GIVERS' HANDS. DO NOT BE IMPATIENT...WAIT ON HIM. I CAN TELL YOU FROM EXPERIENCE THAT HE IS 'ALWAYS' WORTH THE WAIT. THANKS FOR THE SHARE. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Whenever I feel like that, I simply close my eyes and imagine that I've just won the powerball...just think, $500 Million, and I was the only winner. Sadly, I realize...I forgot to buy the ticket. At least now I can smile at the blank parchment.
Happy Holidays and cheers,
Dan

It happens to us all. I break this chain by reading some old poets and before long I'm writing again.

I guess that's why I never feel like I "must" write. I just wait for inspiration and sometimes, it takes different forms. I love senryu and haiku because they are short and yet can be impactful. I keep a digital recorder under my pillow because often, inspiration comes in the middle of the night between dreams. Love, inspiration, and peace to you, William,

There are days
Even weeks
When the creative talent
Plays Hide-and-Seek
