James What a creative and interesting write about writing. Every author, poet, writer, etc has been in this situation.

Yes... We Do Feel That Way Sometimes... (However There Is One Alliteration I Was Glad To Finish - My " P D Q " was Whew! Finally!) :) But I do get the meaning of your words... It's like... Oh, I did alright... all - write - done... Nice Expression of Your Poetic Endeavors... MoonBee

The joy of the write is relived each time you reread it. Leave it on the table so it can inspire you each day. The sense of accomplishment when a good poem is completed is also accompanied by something of a let-down. You want to experience the thrill again and again -- so do it! Doing so may inspire you to write another...and another, etc. Great observation of the poet's inner self! Love, Carolyn
