Notes About The Poem

Not for contest

Free writing

Boy my writing is pale stale tonight
Despite this still it gives me delight 
What is it about selecting a phrase
That keeps me preoccupied for days 

Is it the hope to craft and create
Something new despite old ways
To fondle fuchsia ideas into new
Tasteful thoughts of teal and blue

In a writer's block you’ll find
A new idea in the darkest mind
A blank canvas like an empty page 
Will soon bloom with creative space

I love 'pale stale', that's CayCay wording and I love this poem from start to finish. Every line poetically engaged and delighted me. Here's another "why does it excite thing" - paper, blank paper excites me, it's endless possibilities. I don't think we are weird, but the blossom of a writing seed we were born to unfurl, ON PAPER (last line might be a poem possibility?? I'll ponder)
