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. ___________________________ For Any old poem contest #9 By SKAT A Poem: Feb. 2015 .

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

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
