Sure we get help and inspiration from others. But ultimately, in the creative process, we're on our own. The journey may seem soltary, at times, even lonely. But the rewards - not all of them, but perhaps those closest to our innermost feelimgs - are also supremely personal.

Fa


I climbed once through a forest steeply
Not knowing where, how far the outlook
Pushing upward until, almost giving up,
I found a ledge and its widening view.

Let's do this, said the piano player
Don't know it, I almost said
Not my tune, not my key.
Letting go, I jumped in, riding
Faint familiarity where it took me
Until new music was mine to savor.

The little crowd responded
And I took my pleasure in theirs.
But no one else could hear what I did.
No one else had climbed that moment.

- Charlie Neff

We savor the birth of a note in the solitude of our hearts where it plays to our own pleasure. Captivating write.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
