Pain of a Poet

What happens when there are no words to write? When the fragility of inspiration eludes you, And seem to shutter into pieces, Against the floor of nothingness, When tears accompanies no emotion, When pain watermarks scares to almost oblivion, Times that wind blows unnoticed, When words escape memories, A time when lines lie in dormancy, The pain of a poet arise

Yes, I too welcome you to the Soup. And at times, all poets suffer writer's block as you experienced. I find it helpful to take a break, go for a walk, etc. Let the mind dwell on other things. Focus on images, not words. Let life speak to you through nature. And it will! Don't you just love those "Aha moments" of revelation. Then ideas will flow and the muse will be waking you up in the middle of the night again with ideas. God has blessed poets with special insights. So no pain, no gain!

Welcome to our family our new friend, Haggai! All of us go through the same agony when the muse seems to ignore us but, believe me, with verse like this no muse will ever abandon you! A seven my friend!
