This Poet's Mind

When this poet’s mind discovers some new muse or inspiration, I can’t wait to get started. I’m filled with anticipation. I grab a pen and quickly jot down a line or two. Did I accurately convey my message, or were my words too few? And does my reader feel he hasn’t a single clue, if my poem paints colors in a completely different hue? Did I chart a proper course? Did all my words make sense? Did I successfully flood the page with beauty and eloquence? My pen continues on. It seems my zeal can’t be diminished. Just one final line and my poem will be finished. If beautiful words flow with perfect rhyme and meter… When it all naturally comes together, nothing could be sweeter.

It takes one - to know one. How often do we get a thought or phrase on our mind, and want to get to a pencil and paper or the keyboard. Been there - - done that. This a poem WE can understand. Glad you are on the site. Keep it up.
