A blank sheet can be anything you wish it to be....

When Words Don’t Flow

 

 

This blank paper in front of me can be anything I wish it to be.

It can be a love song, a inspiring poem or a story filled with glee.

It can be a heartrending write and one that touches the heart.

Or it can be a very funny write but first, I’ve gotta start.

 

When I put my pen to paper I never know what words will come.

Sometimes they flow easily enough, sometime I can’t find one.

But in either case I sit there anxiously with my pen in hand.

Hoping to have this new write take me to a magical land.

 

Somewhere deep inside my heart are many wonderful things.

I have to learn how to retrieve them to see what each one brings.

If I couldn’t write again, I’d surely die for there would be no bliss.

It would be like living without a heart & that heart would be missed.

 

So if times come when the words don’t flow, I truly can’t complain.

For I know the words are in there somewhere, in my heart or in my brain.

They’ll let me know when it is time to release what they have to say.

And that’s when happiness is born and experienced that delightful day.

 

Written by,

Bonnie May

Bonnie this is beautiful, it reminds me of something I was talking about today, when I went to the store after church and taking my niece home about the magic that can be made with just a piece of paper and a pen.

All sorts of possibilities can be used on that blank piece of paper. Drawings. Mathematical figures. Stories/poems. Journals. Anything! Good write, Bonnie, and somehow I doubt you could ever get writer's block, the way you write! LOL Very well done as always, Bonnie; brava!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. ;D

We all get into writers block at one time or another; but Bonnie, you will never be lost for words, for you write them from your heart and the words just flow out.

Many of us write from our hearts too!!!

Take care.

I can't imagine the words not flowing for you, dear Sis. You are like a waterfall of poetry, rushing in a great crescendo of rhyme to the bubbling finale in the river below.

As poets and writers one of our fears I believe is that our muse will desert us and leave our minds stranded on a dead end road that by passes our imagination. Great write Bonnie.

Beautiful, the way this flows with a meter that brings the reader right along, riding on the train of your thought (geez, that's a pretty neat image!). Isn't it wonderful -- when you have a first line, the rest of the poem writes itself. No need to force anything. It's like the poem was waiting in your mind and heart, just waiting to spill out onto paper or word processor. I love it, and you have described the process perfectly :-)

Good morning Bonnie.You truly captured the essence of what a writer feels whenever he or she tries to write a poem,or a song,or a novel.Sometimes I do have trouble finding the words to my poem,but whenever I would write a poem or a song,it always makes me feel good.Poetry is in everybody's DNA.Its a part of who we are as individuals.Writing a poem or a song is the most rewarding feeling in the world.I enjoy reading your works,but most of all I enjoy what you have displayed in the Den with your heart and spirit that shines through your poems like the sun with a whole lot of brightness,take care

White pages sometimes talk about a writer's block, other times of the writer's wishes to not spoil the purity of the paper with words.
"...when I put my pen to paper I never know...!
De-licious!
