Anne Hessler Poet Sonnet

When You Can'T Write

How can you write what you cannot persieve
when your mind goes blank as if in a dream
how can you write what you do not believe
when you see two sides on one warring team

you cannot think of what you do not know
nothing on paper ever seems quite right
if you cannot think the words will not flow
you need an idea to show you the light

write all that you like and not what you hate
hold on to your fears your likes and dislikes
failling to do so would a mistake
your feelings will make your work seem lifelike

you cannot write about what you don't see
you'll know in your heart what the words should be

Joanna Smith November 4, 2013 at 3:37 PM Great write, I have been experiencing this first hand. The words just dont come unless I feel and live them. Good job putting that feeling into words. Anne Hessler November 5, 2013 at 9:15 AM Thank you Joanna i was feeling the same way when i wrote it.
