5-7-5-

silent attitude
page requires full attention
only music played

brain running amok
chores getting in way of poem
chatter taunts matter

napkin hard to read
as bad as toilet paper
do i need a shrink

try to shut out world
dreams of cabin in the woods
write to hearts content

surf and sand the realm
words rippling on every wave
a salt water muse 

words coming alive
dancing across the pages
into someones heart

poem becomes flesh
dwelling among the masses
living forever

etw

Great write, our inspiration comes any many ways. I too love the ocean, I love to reflect back upon the days gone by, family members whom have passed on, and my students. However, my muse is much like that of Ed's...give me a cabin in the top of a mountain..peace, quiet, nature, God, and relaxation...Heaven on earth! Enjoyed this much dear friend!
Blessings,

The gift of speaking directly into the heart and mind of someone, somewhere, never ceases to amaze me, Eileen. And the aspiration to do so must be something of what keeps us "obsessed". Visceral and passionate, and I like the sense of it's on-going nature, too. TY Kate xx

Find myself wanting to describe this as the evolution of an urge to create, moving as it does from a period of cultivation and incubation to one of growth, and maturation, then finally towards an independent destiny. Love the vision that gives POETIC OBSESSION its light.

Like a feverish woodpecker the poet is suddenly gripped by the Muses urging the sould to have its hand writing.
I have a bare skeleton, I need literary flesh.
Very well done.

Oh ET...your mind and mine are on the same pages...and I do mean plural. From mountains to beaches and notes on napkins...drifting here and there until the moment and words strike. We must be sufferers of PDD....this was wonderful.
