A Metaphoric Blue

Amid the where’s and when’s and whys The can’ts and won’ts and whiney sighs Sit they with pencils as they paint In words of metaphoric blue In vain attempt to tightly grasp The moment as it flashes past

an intriguing write, John. How often we try almost in vain to pen the write words before the moment of creativity and inspiration passes. Enjoy your evening, Sara

I love these 'what is a poet' poems - I get a tingly feeling and see myself as the cave painter or the pencil holder (unfortunately I'm the sofa sitter holding a phone - could you make that sound beautiful too? haha) another beauty John that resonates with me
