*Crumpled Balls of Paper* *Crumpled pieces of white bond* *Lay like a blanket round my feet* *One more for the Friday trash* *Joins the rest in prose defeat* *I try to write the perfect ode* *To melt the chill of winter�s night* *A love ballet sweet and lingering* *Or free verse bathed in love�s delight* *Sweet six string chorded heartfelt words* *End up just another crumpled scrap* *Perhaps I�m running out of loving words* *Or perhaps I only need a little nap*

I know how you feel but don't be too quick to discard those scraps of paper. When the moment is just right, they might just be what you're looking for to inspire a new poem or to fill in a line or two of one you're already working on. The Muse cannot be forced, so maybe a nap is the best thing.

Love & Light,
Joseph

crumbled balls of paper are like snowflakes of your shedding thoughts ... soon they'll cover the mounatin of your ideas and grow higher and higher until they break free like an avalanche of yet unwritten poems ;)

I don't write them down but if they don't work. DELETE. We both need a nap as I can't come up with a write today. No inspiration.

(((Felix)))

Gentle (((hugs))) and prayers--don't force it, sweetie. Boy, don't I have to tell myself this all the time. You've hit a nerve with this...relax, if you have to, walk away from it and pick it up another time. 'Kay?

Excellent poem of poetic angst--BRAVO!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
