Pain Produces Poetical Pieces

When we as poetical artists
don't know what's coming next
there must be extra effort found
with craft and skill to make the mix

Although it's painful at the time
perseverance is the required key
to battle through the agony
till the breakthrough come you'll see

Hard work is not enough alone
you need your ability to shine
but the two ingredients combined
will produce effect like a good wine

So even in our dry spells
never lose the needed focus
remember your efforts of the past
the seed will come like the crocus

Keep the ink flowing
always and evermore
never mind the blots
lift yourself up and soar

It can be painful sometimes, when we want to write, but the inspiration just isn't there.... I really enjoyed this expressive piece. Very inspiring and uplifting! Great work, Gordon!
