Dear Marival

As I told Roy when I reviewed his heartfelt poem, I believe we are all creative. And when we find our individual talent it brings such joy. You know how it is when an idea takes hold, burning inside, until you are able to release it on the page. Very often the results fall short of my expectations. But sometimes when it all comes together I feel like I'm flying!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful poems on this theme.

Blessings, Cheryl

I do believe that when we are blessed with a creative talent we should use it to the best of our abilities and be grateful for the opportunities it presents. I was in a very dark spot and then I started writing again...my entire attitude changed and I am happy again.
Smiles, Carol

I believe God guides me through my stories. I know he inspired my story about Miranda just to get me through an extremely tough time. I might not have been able to deal with it had it not been with "Miranda" to guide me. God works in mysterious ways, for sure. I'm thankful He gave you your gift. I love reading your work. Gretchen

This piece beautifully captures the profound drive and gratitude that fuels the act of writing. The simple yet evocative language conveys a deep connection between the writer's inner world and their craft. The use of "my soul and spirit demands" emphasizes the necessity of writing as an intrinsic part of your being, while "creation pours through my veins" vividly illustrates the creative flow as a vital force. The concluding lines, expressing gratitude for the emotional and spiritual aspects of the process, add a poignant and reflective touch. Overall, it's a heartfelt declaration of the writer's passion and appreciation for their art.

This is a theme for today! You and Patricia and Roy have all written about the need to write because that is your gift and the Lord has given you this gift to share. I like that you can even give thanks for the tears because you have more to write about!

    I read Roy's poem, not Patricia's... I'll have to check it out. She is such a nice lady.

    Thank you very much, big sister.

    Love,

    Marival 😊

Another fine poem, Gypsy, and can't say I'm a believer, but you've donea wonderful job of making a case for changing my views. And if Trumper Fire is defeated, that would bring me closer to believing.

I feel the same way
If there were no physical rewards, I will still write, as I'm sure you would. The poem recognizes the source from where all gifts come, our grand designer and creator, God.
I have read reopens poem and loved it dearly.
Thanks for sharing.
