Adviceto Poets

Do not lament a midnight heat That cannot move from head to feet, That aches for words, but will retreat When summoned bare at noon. No fleeting wisp or taunting sprite Can force an insight into sight. You simply write because you write To share with all in tune. Your poem must have its time alone Before it speaks for more than one; The best of poems are never done-- The worst are done too soon.

Hey Jerrell, I am still here enjoying your poems. This is so insightful and true. Inspiration is not a fleeting emotion. It lifts your soul into the words you want to express. And sometimes you just have to "wait for it". Be Blessed, Neva
