Help!

NEED HELP! I can't stop thinking and I don't know what to do the words they keep on coming seems that they are never through. How they grow and multiply and fill up all my brain which is now in overflow and driving me insane! I think they plan to drown me in a poets wordy sea need a way to slow the words still growing inside me. I really need some answers and I really need them fast! Can anybody HELP ME? Worried how long I will last! Trapped in a poets nightmare knowing if they go away I will want them back again and for them I will pray!

Get a tape recorder LOL. I write on napkins on the steering column driving at 65 miles per hour, not a good one to ask! Light & Love Debbie

I think most writers would welcome your influx of ideas. Enjoy them when they come! Writer's block sure isn't any fun. Enjoyed this poem. Thanks for sharing it and for your ongoing encouragement. Karen

Robin, you certainly don't drown in "a poet's wordy sea." You have mastered the talent to craft short, beautiful verses that hit the target. Alas, 'til I who drowns in that sea. This is such a nice read, and I'm sure many of us on Poetrysoup can relate to the feeling of having words "growing inside" them! And thanks for directing me to Brian's explanation of the footle. As for me, "Keep tryin', ain't rhymin'." See, still too many syllables! Carolyn

I really think this is very cleverly done Robin, you've asked for help, this is all I can suggest: Switching off can be a problem I know just what you mean Let's go and see the hypnotist And wipe em all out clean. Regards.Déirdre

Smile~You always seem to have an over-flowing of words, rushing through your wonderful thoughts dear lady!!!~"Hello Precious & Gifted & Beautiful Robin!!!"~Well, my sincere advice would be, always carry a note pad and pen with you~even by your bedside let them wait~until, there is no denying, that the wonderfully word filled dam is about to break....cont....
