Birth of a Poem

I don’t know why I sit here staring at this sheet of paper
Nothing is going to change
The words are not going to jump out at me
Come pouring from my keyboard
From the tip of my fingers
Like honey from a jar
They aren’t going to spring in full sentences
From the depths of my mind
Poems are not going to appear
From out of nowhere
I groan in despair
I can’t make it happen
As much as I would like to
No it isn’t
As much as I want it to occur
The words are not going to appear
Until suddenly
Surprisingly
They do
And I relax

An ingenious way to say, "a sigh of relief"? Enjoyed.
Be safe,

You've managed to write a poem about writer's block and pull it off! Nice write Sue.

It always amazes me the different methods, ways, means etc that writers chose to do their work. Some plan each and every line, some make outlines, some only write when the urge hits them and me it seems to be when I sit at keyboard in the early or late hours when all is quiet and start typing...the words find me, as suggested in your lovely write Sue...

Good.....what I do when I cannot relax...I read some of my other poems and sometimes a line triggers off a new one!!

Love Tinka
