Poem Artwork

it sits there, looking at me
through unmarked eyes of
purity, the piece of paper in
front of me - it laughs at my
attempts to put pen to page.

i can't --

i close my eyes, gather the
strength of the Muse in my
mind, and, with one bold
stroke, defeat those who
would say i am not a Poet:

i am.

(c) 2009, Karla Dorman (6/10)

No one could, or should, tell you such a thing and all one needs to do is read but a few of your poems to know you are a poet...a fine poet, Karla. Shows your strength! Hugs, Elizabeth :)

Look at that beautiful, God sent thunderstorm. I love 'em. So many positive ions of energy to be experienced. Try viewing these weather events from a different perspective. It's only weather, babe.

Who would dare say you were not a poet? They do not know how to read! I to can shake the muse into doing it's job by taunting it with a blank sheet of paper! I see your muse has that "I'll show" attitude too!

Enjoy to write. Think unlike poet, makes never a poet.
Poetry is in the heart, never anothers thinking.
Be your poet, If not, others will doubt and alway write for another, not self, not truth to self.

Of course you are. A writer is a magician, making something from air. Can it be grasped and held in the hand? Only when given form and function by the pen. And each poet is a unique and precious resource. The illusive product must be mined in the deep sometimes and this takes time and inspiration(I have a feeling you're a perfectionist). Power to the Muse...
