Valsa George Poet Rhyme

The Poems I Never Wrote

“Time waiting to be inspired is time wasted. When inspiration throttles your neck, go to your desk”- By Poet


With no cover ups, let me be frank
At times my mind goes utterly blank
When I sit down to write poems,
From topic to topic, my mind roams.

But nothing comes to spark off a rhyme
Often, I feel the words do not chime
Today I sat down to write something
And ended up conjuring nothing

No thoughts came up to stir my brain
And no topic I found save my strain
But I wasn’t wilfully ready to give up
And waited impatient for my mind to clear up

I don’t know how long I sat in meditation
On waking up I got a fresh direction
I must wait and need to be really inspired
And poems can’t be squeezed out uninspired 

The sun had gone out of sight
The moon was beautiful and bright
It was already growing late
And I put off my futile fight

I Am Anaya October 20, 2022 at 6:19 PM A Limerick can be as heavenly as any sonnet, and I am positive your ink shall never runout!

Gershon Wolf October 8, 2022 at 7:33 PM This reads very realistic: One just can't 'squeeze out' (good) poems when uninspired. Hmm. I ought to take that sage advice of yours to heart!! Thanks, gw

Bill Baker October 8, 2022 at 5:00 PM Sometimes there's just nothing a poet has to say that day. A nice entry for the contest, Valsa. Good luck, my dear friend. Bill

Rico Leffanta October 8, 2022 at 11:13 AM Nicely done! Aloha!

Sara Kendrick October 8, 2022 at 7:52 AM Reads like a good contender to me for the contest. I hope that poetry flows from your insightful pen for a long time with no dry spells. Way to go. Thanks for sharing and for your visit to my page. Sara

Sotto Poet October 8, 2022 at 7:10 AM Valsa, your poetry is well written and it captures the feelings of so many people. Excellent communication of the muse's emotional instability. It may be quite difficult to attempt to impose ideas when they won't cooperate with you, and there are instances when trying to impose words can be very aggravating. Good luck in the contest.

Vijay Pandit October 8, 2022 at 5:40 AM Sometimes the words refuse to cooperate. Your poem speaks for many. Moodiness of muse well conveyed, Valsa.

Victor Buhagiar October 8, 2022 at 2:54 AM You get a writer's block occasionally. I get it every day. Thank God for your muse. Valsa George October 8, 2022 at 5:22 AM With writer's block, how can you write poems on a daily basis... that too excellent ones. You are becoming too humble dear Victor.

Michael Tor October 7, 2022 at 9:06 PM Valsa loved your Poetry. The ending especially. Well crafted and wonderful theme and play on words I really enjoyed reading... Best wishes in Craig's contest... Valsa George October 8, 2022 at 5:20 AM Thanks a Michael for your highly encouraging comment. So glad you liked it. Stay Blessed !

Michelle Faulkner October 7, 2022 at 9:03 PM It can be frustrating to try to force the words, sometimes you have to step back and wait for them to come to you - best wishes for the contest! Valsa George October 8, 2022 at 5:18 AM Yes, we have to patiently step back until the inspiration comes. Thanks a lot Michelle for your kind visit and comment.

Jeff Kyser October 7, 2022 at 8:51 PM Oh, I know all about writer’s block, and you are right, you can’t force it! Enjoyed, Valsa, write on! Valsa George October 8, 2022 at 5:15 AM Yes, it is vain effort forcing poems out . Thanks a lot Jeff.
