Too Lazy To Write




The truth is at times, we are just too lazy to write.
Hence, we blame our Muses, a wrong, to be made, right!

Inspiration is everywhere, in your past, present and within 
you on the chair.
Who knows what beauty we might pen, if we could just realize,it's in your brain matter, right under your hair.

Some faint after a simple verse written?
You must learn to have the heart of a lion, not a newborn kitten.

Excuses, I hear, and it's tedious and wearisome.
Drink coffee or tea, and use your brain as the rest of us.

You have to eat food and read, for your poetic soul.
Otherwise, there are just lame excuses with zero poetic goals.

Oh, you have no goals, you say??
Look deep into your soul, it's called, Inspiration Bay!

Thanks for sharing, encouraging, and reminding us we have it within; the possession of gems. We mustn't be lazy to tweak, toy with, and then polish; yes we need reflection and gaining momentum time even away from our muse. Short and sweet reminder. More please.

Hi Iris! Love your name, so royal. Get the pen on the paper and it seems to dance! The thinking about, wondering. Is a stop for me. Just be you. That's what works for me and music. Cannot pen in silence. Haven't seen your poetry yet. "more, please" totally charming! Thamk you Panagiota

So very well said my dear friend! The world beats on us and if we are poets it triples its hits. Yet we each must rise above the dark, the hits, the sad-to give, to love- to offer words to others as light and hope and comfort and perhaps healings. One never knows when ones words may help a reader. Sometimes in that they see somebody else survived what they are facing or have faced. A fav..

How wonderfully said, Robert. Life hits us on the head so hard, or we want and easy way out. But you are right! Our words may help them overcome something. We are bigger than our problems. I always think of Others far worse off than I, doing my best to be grateful, even when facing the worst.AND ACCEPTANCE of how things are for me. Amazing we survived....the unsurvivable. Pangie xx

You're right, within and all around us there is inspiration, we only have to open our hearts and eyes to see it. Tom

It's everywhere! Weather, food, news, love, loss, birth and death. *Pangie*
