The Frustrations of a Poetic Writer
Writing poetry draws one within
allowing the inward self to demonstrate
all that's been down there deep and dark
making your light shine before its too late
Irritation is a descriptive word
one that we all seek to emulate
it tasks our mind to our extreme
pointing higher worthy to contemplate
Consider the classical violinist supreme
who has a true ever living ear
but the challenge of quality reproduction
making the fingers touch without fear
But these fingers have a mind of their own
which can stop any reproduction
no matter how the sound comes over
it all continued under construction
The frustrations of a poetic writer
causes irritation within the grey matter
but there's hope with a capital H
inspiration comes to get one on a starter
'Quote:
" I am irritated by my own writing. I am like a violinist whose ear is true, but whose fingers refuse to reproduce precisely the sound he hears within."
- Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880) French Novelist.
