Hi Treischel,
This is a great poem and I wish I had a six for you. I have tried to pick a favorite phrase or line but I like them all.
For then,
With powerful perception
My pen will race upon the page.
Unfettered thought shall run with joy,
And I will write
It all.
However, the verse above is especially powerful and compelling. Well done, chey

That's a wonderful poem. It is lyrical and fun to read. Creative with good visual imagery. Motivational for yourself and others to write too. Excellent work.

Comment from Selina Stambi
You will, Will ... Shakespeare, sir??
Tom, this is a little gem - I love the classical, Elizabethan-esque touch, particularly in the opening and closing stanzas and the free-floating incidental rhyme.
Here I am - finally free to sit at my desk guilt free! How I've missed FS.
Sonali
p.s. Our mutual friend, Gungalo, must be honoured by the reverence you pay her poetry, Tom. :)

Comment from adewpearl
excellent use of enjambment to keep your thoughts flowing from line to line
I really really like your opening verse
good alliteration in seek to set
great pairing of muse is mute
excellent alliteration in powerful perception with other P words
a very thoughtful look at the creative poetic process

Comment from 9999pool
Yes, and what shall we write today?
Just be observant on the things that goes on around us every day.
If one activity or event catches our attention, the muse will flow to the first two lines. The rest will come by themselves, smiles.
Write without inhibitions if possible and that's the greatest muse for us to be inspired in being able to set free our muse - if we tried to control it, the flow will stop and as we ponder longer, the muse will not restart due to inhibitions and non-passionate in what our thoughts tell us, smiles. let the muse control as we monitored what the pen writes, :)).
Great write and well penned about a possible writer's block somewhere in our minds.
Cheerio, Ritchie. :))

Thanks Ritchie. Fortunately I haven't experienced it yet.

Your intensely thought-provoking poem vividly conveys the theme that we must have the proper stimuli at the right times to write our most moving poetry.

How we all wait for that perfect moment of
inspiration, that allows us to express what's
in our soul. We've all been there.
Excellent write.
