Write Anything

Write humor, sing of joy!
Sing of the beauty of rabbits
and toys.
Shout from the rooftops about 
the of the beauty of winds
and the trees.
Weep over loss and heartaches 
or sting of bumblebees!
Of courage or perhaps a little girl's
skinned knees.

Just sit at the computer,
twenty four seven, no sleep shall
you take.
One day, suddenly, you are in poetry heaven.
Gratefully, wide awake!

Hello Panagiota … once we get the bug it appears that we need to tell the world our past, our hopes, our imagination etc. and I find this very satisfying like so many. Your verse is a great reminder Panagiota - Lindsay

I'm little like you my friend - I prefer sitting up to write poetry all night than sleep, when I go to yoga twice a week, that morning I feel rejuvenated, so then back to little sleep and just poems takes over. Also grateful I am awake! Hug Panagiota mou and blessings my friend.

The excellence is in its joyous spirit, purity and life acknowledge my friend. Of course you can write even better as your talent was not overly taxed on that creativity at the moment you birthed it....
