Notes About The Poem

Before new Publisher

New Publisher

The Poem Factory

There are those bleak days
Of cold wintery winds
When the mind is frozen
The ink flows not

The factory of poetry is on strike
Better pay demanded
Better conditions
Longer happy hours

There are also those days
When the mind can not stop
Ideas flow faster than the pen
Do you not love those glorious wonderful days

When the poem factory is open for business

There are times when we all feel uninspired and nothing flows from pen to paper, often for weeks, months or years but that can change in a flash and before you know it something inspires you to write it down there and then.

An all too familiar story for me, Arthur. I do love those days when the poetry is flowing. I just hope my pen doesn't decide to run out of ink on that day... May your poetry factory never close down :) Keep up the great work!

I have days like that when the ink doesn't flow - I find giving the pen a good rub works wonders:-) Hugs Jan xxx

Those are the brightest days but I bet those happy hours are fun if the Habs are playing
