An Honest Appraisal

So many years writing about many things it's amazing to think about them all many subjects covered as poets do fighting within as the thought lines brawl Dry spells occur making one wordless one asks where are they all gone for a moment in time so many aplenty then like a desert full of sand at dawn But thankfully been encouraged to pen overcoming every doubt that crosses my way finding that rhyme that I so do love this is my route at present this day But there again there's always a doubt how long can I continue using this pen? one day it shall end either far or near maybe the words will dry up now or then (This is my honest appraisal of where I feel I am at as a poet, leaving behind the work of 'divineink82' having reached the 2000 mark and beginning afresh as 'Fair Sunshine' not knowing how much longer I'll go on, it's all in God's hands under His direction and leading)

Congratulations on your meritorious journey as a poet ! Having two thousand poems to your credit is no small thing ! Occasionally dry spells occur in the life of any poet. But soon streams of thought will sprout and will fall in torrent ! Wish you the very Best . May God never let your pen go dry for another two decades...!
