"Average Poet" What I strive to be one day.
"warming frosty fingers
so my muse will thaw" Good metaphoric imagery, nicely expressed.
"Alone and insecure
I'm at that awkward stage" How do you know me so well?
Very good rhymingpoem here--well crafted.

This is such a lovely description of the writing process, as your personal descriptions so accurately reflect mine and those of all other writers I know. I particularly got a kick out of, "warming frosty fingers so my muse will thaw." It's a charming turn of phrase, and so cleverly points out how so many of us pass off our own skill or inspiration or spark as the work of our invisible muse. I do the same, but what you're really saying is that you got past whatever was holding you back, and you found the words you wanted to put on paper. I think you said it best with these words: "Eventually, I'll get there, my heart will start to glow with stylish creativity. I'll pen a one-man show." Hopefully so will we all, once we start claiming our own talent and ability.

This is great! I'm sure you have expressed the thoughts and feelings of many here on FanStory. I wish my muse would allow me to be above average, but no such luck. :)

Wow! Well done Jesse. Only you say you are 'raw' but deep inside is a wealth of subjects to write about. FS helps with the loneliness and cyber friends are plenty. So, start writing more friend. K xx

A well above average poem from the pen of this 'average' poet. Better than many I see here on FanStory! I think you undervalue your talent, Jesse. Nicely written.

Of course, it would rhyme as you faithfully rhymed every other line. I'm glad you are growing as a poet and are sharing your fun creative process. Thanks for sharing, Jesse! Keep writing and sharing your poetry!

I enjoyed reading this so much, probably because I can relate, having the same feelings quite often. But I keep trying, hoping "my muse will thaw."
You are already on your way and I wish you th every best with your poetry.

Comment from Dawn Munro
Dear "Average Poet",
I'm wearing a big smile right now,
and it is all your fault!
There's not a single thing I'd do
to make your scribing halt.
Your verse is fun, and even more
you chose such clever art!
The dolphin is a creature that
just loves to share its heart.
There's also nothing average
about a pen evoking
the kind of joy that makes one grin...
Your talent, friend, is smoking!!!
