Words Need Gush Forth

Mind over Muse
  or Muse over Mind
What does it matter
  if a tongue's in a bind

Words need gush forth
  as a swift-flowing stream
When water's confined
  No poet can dream

You write small but relatable poems. Each with a beautiful thought or message. Love reading your poems. Every line again wonderful. You are right. I agree!

Yes please the “words need gush forth”! I hope they always do for you! But if you’re ever in a bind, you can sing your song! Did you write one yet? I’d love to see it! Keep writing- C.A. ;)

Thanks, C.A... Unfortunately, my songbird seems to have flown south for the winter. Maybe she'll return in April. Sure hope so! Write on! Cheers, gw

“When water’s confined”. Hopefully it never will be.

I'm trying my best to 'rhyme on a dime,' Robert. Thank you so such for all of the encouragement! Smiles for miles, Gershon
