In Need Of Slumber

I ponder, I ponder In my mind, For words, for verses, I need slumber. I need to scribe, I know not why, I'm in need of slunber, I need not lie. I'm seeking, Seeking without inspiration, I'm unable to function, Looking for something, With desperation. In the shower, I soak and ponder, Seeking words for verses, As I ponder and wonder. The water is hot, As it beats down my back, Still, I ponder for words, As I seek, the coolness, Of the tiles, against my face. No relief yet, for my ponder, My head is aching, Full of wonder, For I am, weary and tired, In need of slumber. William Bonilla.....5/21/02 Don't force poetry on yourself, Just let it flow like a gentle stream.

William, you are so right. Last night I couldn't finish a song poem. Had to quit for rest and right now I am going to have to stop soon. It seems that writing is an obsession to me. The older I become the more I am compelled to write. Bill

Very Good William,
I was just talking to my friend about the need to create, when I can't write, I feel lost! I think everyone here can relate!

Excellent job of kicking the muse into action!

Hugs,
Maria

I agree completely, if it's forced it just won't be right.

We all go through this, but if you hang a little while, suddenly the light will shine in your spirit and your pen will begin to flow effortlessly. Thanks for sharing.
