Darlene Gifford Poet Rhyme

The Write Stuff

This is no laughing matter,
I cannot go to bed.
the Master Poets, like book-bugs,
are sleeping there instead!

The Write Stuff crowds my book shelves.
Words dribble down the wall.
I'll put them in my poems,
and not waste a one at all.

In dreams, I plant poems in the vineyard.
I eat them off the vine.
I would even mash them up,
and turn them into wine! 

I have pads and pens and paper clips.
I'll thin them out someday,
along with old rejection slips,
that keep me writing anyway!

But I know the stuff
that really matters,
comes from God above.
And He freely gives it,
along with all His love.

Milton Robertson June 11, 2015 at 6:46 AM Outstanding, purely inspirational. It's got my vote. Stay Blessed Darlene Gifford June 11, 2015 at 8:12 AM Thanks, Milton, for liking my poem, but it will not be entered in the contest. I withdrew it because I wrote on the wrong subject. But I thought it was still worthy of being seen here. And every time we write is a growth experience, don't you agree? Enjoy your day, Darlene

Jan Allison June 11, 2015 at 1:58 AM I to have written contest poems only to re read the rules - but you will end up with 2 poems for the price of one so this lovely poem is a real bonus:-) Hugs jan xx Darlene Gifford June 11, 2015 at 6:43 AM Thanks, Jan, but there will only be this one poem. I'm not going t be writing about the other subject. Let others who know more about this problem enter their poems. I thought he meant write about the stuff we collect in our lives. So I focused on my writing and the books in my life. Thanks for liking my poem~~~Darlene
