The Perfect Poem

So stuck on fastidious thoughts, unable to make these lines rhyme; it's like ice trapped between mountains cliffs waiting for spring... can moodiness and dissatisfaction create the perfect poem? For hours I tackle the unresponsive feeling that's too latent; the language is languid, not flowing as smoothly as it should... 'till the rising of dawn words will sound lame and escape from my pen.

It is exciting to see the replenishment of new poetry here everyday when I log on. I enjoy the diverse poetry so I am never bored by most of what I read. I am happy to have read your poetry this morning Andrew. I hope that you might be able to find the time to read some of the other poetry here also. Love, Carol
