A ''Wizened'' Poet

Over the years, I have wizened as a writer and poet - now I pen easily and can elicit the emotions needed for any poem. Yes, there are days when the muse is shackled, but in time is set free- so I hold my black cartridge pen, ready to drip my words . . . Some come to loiter and pause over my poetry, I don't expect a horde or screaming throng to visit. But, I am happy with some delightful commenting. I love the visits but please don't trifle, don't be "mordacious" with your words . . . ________________________ March 25, 2017 Verse/A "Wizened" Poet Copyright Protected, ID 887355 Written for the contest, Eight Word Challenge sponsor, John Hamilton Third Place

Good Morning Broken Wings. How true your last line. Poetry should never be that way. Your thoughts are lovely and I believe any poet/writer would second them and agree. Well done

This is wonderful writing. Your words have a lightness that simply feels good, as if by sharing your poetic ways, one can feel okay if they too fret over words that don't come. You write for you, 'comments' are 'sprinkles' on the 'cupcake', a lovely addition but not necessary. You are complete on your own. A joy to read. lynnxxx

Gosh, I had a hard time with that mordacious word, took three dictionary's to find. And poetrysoup does not like it, but there it is, that caustic word.
