I Failed To Write You a Love Poem

I stared at this blank page for days on end in futile scrabble to discover words that would transform this cold, white emptiness into something filled with love and meaning. But pen, hand, and lexicon in my head could not provide the message from my heart. Bite-Size Poem No 22 Poetry Contest Placed 1st Sponsored by: Line Gauthier Date wrote: 04-October-2021

Hi Caren, thank you so much for your kind comments, but sometimes it does last, the block; that is why I enjoy the little contest on PS; it sparks me, best Terry.

Dear Terry, poignant beauty spills from your wonderful pen. Your failure to express is so very emotionally expressive. Congratulations for your excellent win in Line's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

What your poem's title actually reveals is that you wanted to write a poem of your love for someone in the first place. Whether you failed or not, I don't think matters. Indirectly, Terry, you did write a love poem and deserve all the credit you and your poem has subsequently garnered. Cheers - Gary

Thank you, Gary; it was my intent to say I could not find the words to express my feelings fully.
