When To Write

Write not when tremors whirl
 
Write not when silence furled
 
Write only when a whisper of pen
 
Speaks
 
Only then, just then

Love this. Simple yet profound. Great line 'Write only when a whisper of pen Speaks'. This is when the best poetry comes, at any other time I always feel as though I'm forcing it! Best wishes Em :)
