Charles Messina Poet Verse

Sometimes I Just Can'T Think

Sometimes when I try to write about something  
my mind travels though light and darkness,  
and it wanders through my universe of thoughts 
A dictionary of scrambled words circulates through my brain and regurgitates them into my muse  
As I try to reconfigure them into something that makes sense, I back-read my thoughts 
And then, I realize...
It's time to put the cap on my pen... 
It makes no sense at all

Marikate Kingston September 23, 2023 at 8:12 PM Oh writer's block. My poetic brain on pause. If I'm stuck for help I read dozens of poems from other creative Soup members, that helps. With your poems, I believe your pen cap has snapped back on. :)

Bill Baker September 22, 2023 at 4:15 PM You may have heard, "there's a time and place for everything", Sometimes we want to write when our thoughts are not ready to reveal themselves it a discernable language. :-) Just try again another day and see what else your heart wants to say. I feel you brother, Bill

Victor Buhagiar September 21, 2023 at 2:55 AM I am in the habit of reading my poems over and over again, even hearing it on my computer. I always find some mistake. I would never delete it until it's perfect in my humble opinion.

Panagiota Romios September 20, 2023 at 9:23 PM Very clear, Charles!! Pangie

Hiya Sharma September 20, 2023 at 9:26 AM Oh my, yes I resonate with this so much, there are always many times when inspiration strikes, our mind travels in a different universe oscillating between various frequencies and when we return from the world of imagination, it's gone and it really is troublesome..A wonderful write, so expressive!

Jan Allison September 20, 2023 at 6:22 AM I get you big time Charles! but of course most of my poems are poop anyway lol:-) hugs Jan xx
