Revival- a Dedication

REVIVAL - A Dedication

Filled to the brink, ink in the barrel of my pen
Yet hesitant to flow as poem for days more than ten

Writer’s block or lethargy, I am unsure what and when
Like a cocoon reeled all around, my words trapped in den

No muse, no zeal, me cornered to the cozy comfort zone
Excuses I made in plenty- hell lot of work, I don’t have my clone!

Days and nights kept rolling, in my mind ,seeds called shirk were sown
Attitude of why bother?Chill! It happens to many, you are not alone

But entered little change to break this status quo
When a new message dropped into my mailbox you know

It was from this lady named Linda, dear poetess on Poetry soup!
On three of my poems that I had already posted, she sent in her scoop....

Her precious words of appreciation! left me motivated and inspired 
To write new poem decided I ,my lost enthusiasm her words revived

Heartfelt gratitude dear lady, this poem to you with love I dedicate
Like an angel, to me you ferried a bundle of cheering for definite!

My words have now started flowing out of my mind's greenroom
To present before you all this poem in their free flowing inky costume!


( I dedicate this poem to my dear poetess -Linda, Poet Destroyer A )

Anulaxmi, WOW, This is a delight to read. I know how it is to be so unsure of our writes and find all faults to keep us away from out pens. At once I would blame others. LOL, Now, I've come to terms, I am lazy. :) However, I will post a poem here and there for my readers. As a poet, I like sharing the feeling of spreading good words of encouragement. I'm not here to grill on anyone poems. I love seeing the better side of every write... Sometimes a short hello can leave a better impression, than skipping a poet or person. The more I read from a certain poet, the more I become familiar with their poems. Which makes it easier to enjoy tier newest poems. I thank you and offer a nice friendly hug and smile. Always ~LINDA~
