Miranda's 5x5x3 Contest ~ April 16, 2025

Poetry is written with reflections of dreams, pregnant with thoughts born from openly emotional hearts. Nurtured by a poet's experiences and whimsical musings, charmingly penned. Sometimes vivid imaginations run wild, scribblings as if a child. Casualties crumbled on the floor. But flexible is the quill and ink continues to spill. Poets often sit in shadows, and locked behind closed doors. Aborting verses they haven't rhymed, frequently losing track of time. Sunrise mornings become stygian nights.

I can totally relate to this poem and all of it is true sometimes with the crazy ideas that come popping into my head. Sorry this contest was slow on judgement and slow on my response, but I have not forgotten. Congratulations on your win in my contest.

Lin, you've described the labor of love. How lucky are we who can do something where time flies by and we wish we had more? I only wish more people felt this way about everything they would do. Talk to you soon. Smiles!!

I can lose all sense of time when I'm working on a poem or a painting. It's a very good stress reliever, at least for a little while. Thanks, Duke.

Like you Lin I've notes scribbled down and they never took off just gathering dust, When I run out of ideas maybe I'll revisit them. Love the picture too, thankfully we have electricity now so candles are out lol. Tom

Oh no, it was the Internet and phone line that were out, but sorted now, we changed provider and now paying just over half of what we were paying for the same service.

Oh my gosh, Tom. Have you been without electricity since you mentioned it days ago?? Sounds like it is here after a hurricane.

Hello Lin, this is an awesome piece, beautiful penned. I am like the second stanza, I know so well-: of casualties crumbled on the floor. Enjoy your day my friend.

Hi Zyrool. You're not alone in having given up on some attempts to write. I have notebooks of poetry started and aborted, but cannot throw it away, thinking someday I'll get back to this one. Thanks for the read and comments.
