Love this glimpse into your day and writing life. So true to everyday happenings. And the ending is totally unexpected from the words that come before - I could actually feel you winding down and relaxing in the calm, quiet night. Beautiful work.

I know your life is much crazier, so I tip my hat to you ? if I still wore hats. Remember when I wore them all the time? High school, maybe... anyhow, THANK you. :)

A fine free verse poem that most of us are able to relate to. I think you've expressed it well and, yes, the poem does appear to be in the shape of a pen. Marilyn

Wow! This is lovely! I can imagine. How difficult it is to run a family and still finish up with your daily to-do-lists. This is brilliant!
More grace.
My very best wishes in the contest. Cheers!

Hi Debby, your free verse poem does actually resembles a pen. What a clever observation. I loved your poem and can totally identify with chaos and you so desperately wanting to be creative, which you obviously manage to find. I loved it. Good luck in the contest. All best. Ulla:)))

What started out as trying to urge the inspiration ended up with the little life stuff invading and then settling in with your muse to the peacefulness of night. A lovely free verse Deb where your thoughts flow. Cheers valda

Thanks, Valda! I was pretty nervous about starting this, but then it became more fun as I went along. :)
Thanks and blessings,

Your free-verse poem is creatively-conceived, vividly descriptive of the distractions--however special and welcome they may be--the poet encounters while trying to create. Nice touch of humor

Thank you, Janice! Humor is the way to deal with most of life, so why not distractions, too. :)
Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Hi Dana! I thought you might get a kick out of this! Not sure about kittens at your house, and we'd have to replace 'Grandmomma' with 'Mommy', but I bet the rest is spot on. lol I'm blown away and onored by the six stars. Thank yu!
Holler at me later if you'd like. Going up to church to clean for a hwile this morning. Yay. My favorite thing in life besides cleaning the cat litter box. lol
Blessings to Y'all,
Deb

I'm sure many writers can relate to this, it seems that whenever I sit down to write there are always so many distractions. I thought this was well written and I enjoyed reading it. Good luck in the contest!

I too find it difficult to sit down during the daytime and write. My creative juices can only flow when everyone is in bed, and I am finally alone.

Thank you for reading and reviewing! I think we're all In the same boat with this life vs. writing thing. :) I quite often really get my work here done between 10 and 2AM. I agree -- everyone in bed is the solution, but then that darned sun rises SO early! :)
Blessings, my friend,
