Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

A Push In My Pen

There's a push in my pen 
   a coax in my keyboard
A prod 'cross my fingers
   a poke 'top my brain

Each sentence hides muscles
   nudging stanzas to bustle 
One poem's done, here comes the next
   press down on the keys, produce the text

Leo Larry Amadore June 11, 2021 at 2:15 PM Grit the teeth and start and continue, with or without the impelling vision or the engulfing emotion....that is how it is (probably) most often done, indeed! You have transmitted the experience in a way that requires no detailed explanation. I like your poem.

Beryl Edmonds June 11, 2021 at 12:26 PM Good one Gershon! ~ When the words in your mind form, do you rush to find paper and pen. Or do you prefer the keyboard and let your fingers fly over them. Either way poet, get those words out of your head, then the people will read them, poetry is meant to be read… Belle

Rico Leffanta June 11, 2021 at 11:35 AM Aha! Now I see! Milton uses an inkwell whereas you use a keyboard! Gershon Wolf June 11, 2021 at 4:51 PM Milton's Paradise --- or is it Paradise Lost? lol.

L Milton Hankins June 11, 2021 at 8:59 AM I know that feeling so well, g.w. I wake up in the middle of the night with rhymes in my head. I drive down the street trying to find a rhyme. Sometimes I give up and resort to free verse. push, push, push! My muses never let up.

Judy Ball June 11, 2021 at 8:26 AM Ohh Great! You're on a roll with the inspiration. Love it when that happens but lately it hasn't happened much. Good job. Write On! God Bless, JB

JC Brul June 10, 2021 at 9:50 PM That's what an inspired poet feels everytime! Its like a rain that pours....Brilliant!! Gershon Wolf June 11, 2021 at 4:53 PM As I usually say, 98.6% perspiration. 1% inspiration, 0.4% bird you-know-what landing squarely on my head waiting for inspiration. And so it goes... Thanks JCB.
