Notes About The Poem

Fly Or Die

I sit with page in front of me not blank, as you may think. My words are on the brink of flying or dying, you see. So I’ll just sit, and stare, and blink and try to make it better, maybe change a letter, to get my feet and rhymes in sync. When I’m stuck and mind in fetter I’ll dream of flying high. Not wanting words to die, I become a phrase abetter.

You are sooo cool! A phrase a better. ))) I know I need a nudge to get writing. Sometimes, I think we poets are a dime a dozen.LOL. And I get exhausted trying to inspire a world that seems only to cherish entertainment, cascades of voluminous words and imagery. Know what I mean? Pangie

Hey Pangie - thanks! I do know what you mean. I write for myself, sometimes short and "sweet" and sometimes laden with "words" ad nauseam. Mostly, I like fun :))

Thank you Michelle. Sometimes I'll write a poem, read it the next day or two, then totally change it or the form LOL. Thanks for stopping by. :)
