Couldn'T Write Tonight

Countless poems I've tired to write But unfinished they still remain Either i can't find the words to say Or put in place the right refrain My pen is begging me to flow String words along into prose But writings not an easy task Of this I surely know Some nights the words flow freely The nights where emotions are in control I love these poems the most though I never find them dull My mind can rhyme all night Such a talent is elementary at most So I try to put it to good use My pen gliding with the ease of a ghost On such a night as this though When the lines just dont want to form It's usually due to tumultuous feelings When I just write to calm the storm

I agree completely. Most of my poems start off well, but the words come as I'm about to fall asleep. The next day when I try to force a finish, it just doesn't work. Congrats on your feature. Happy Writing!

Here is inquiry, here is the birth pangs of our genius, here is honest sensibility, here is a poet and a poem I pray will ever shine. Thanks for reading my work, friend. God bless you.

Yes I certainly understand your well expressed sentiments. When they dont come for me, I've found it is because I am trying to force them rather than just letting them come through me as they will. Guess I'm sukpposed to be patient... not my strong suit. Good poem Patty. -Robert
