I assume the "forsaken computer" is a reference to your time away from writing. And it sounds like you're having trouble getting motivated - there's no melody to ignite your passion.

I wish I had a magic fix for you, Jose. Did I not read once that you like to fish? Perhaps being outside in nature helps, and take a book of great poetry to read while you're out there. Perhaps the Masters can ignite a spark in you. Sometimes a spark is all it takes.

Take care and keep putting words to paper - good or bad, just do it.

    Thank you, Pam. Sometimes I'm just feeling old. :) The forsaken computer means that it runs good when it wants to. I need a new one.

Hi, PoetWatch

This looks like a good entry for the contest. Good luck with that!'

At first, I thought that Freevsrse should not have rhyming. Then I looked it up, and some rhyming is allowed, it doesn't really say that there's not supposed to be any rhyming at all, but there's just not supposed to be any meter at all

I'm trying to figure this one out. It sounds like maybe your muse has left you that whatever you write down doesn't seem to impart the emotion that you want to have. That would be true whether you use pen and paper an iPhone or a computer it's the same thing Love is not transmittable

Have you ever thought about how you almost have to be with a person to love them. You can't hug anybody long-distance you can't kiss anybody long distance you can't nibble anybody's ear distance. I guess I don't need to go on.

I mean you can talk on the phone about those things, but they just don't have the same import

I enjoyed reading your poem

Good job. Thank you for sharing.

    Thank you. Yes, without a loved one near it's hard to whisper in their ear. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed your poem. I loved the raw honesty and the deep emotions in your writing. For me I thought you explored the creative process and the emotional toil that it takes to get those words on paper.

    Thank you, Michael. Those feelings are honest and true. I write from the heart or not write at all. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I find it very hard to write free verse because my ideas don't translate well like they do in rhyme. I completely understand what you are saying and can relate. I wish you best of luck in the contest.

This is very well written for a free verse and I enjoyed reading it. I wish you the very best with all of your writing. Sometimes I think ports get caught up and having to think that they have to rhyme everything and it have to have certain meter but sometimes the free verse is that which allows us to Really write from our heart.

From the perfect title to the cooing of the dove and the yearning of the heart to have its songs transcribed to the computer, you have expressed the writing desires of so many poets! Hope this one does well in the contest!!
