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.

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.

p.s. Our mutual friend, Gungalo, must be honoured by the reverence you pay her poetry, Tom. :)

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. :))

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.

un fished utterance was a good write,,, as is your poem,, the very same issue,,, losing you muse for a period of time,,, but you keep your mind open with the many beauty things to inspire you,,from nature,,, a love,,, a event,,, or just a good jolly laugh at something funny,,, my friend,, my soft sweet voice has been silent for a long time,,, so I keep my mind open buy reading and reviewing,,, for I know my soft sweet voice is not silent,,, it is just me,,,too consumed with worldly interference ,,, just waiting on that one word o kick start me,,, great write,,, and a poem that many will relate to,,,blessings,my friend,,, sueellen
