Writer’s Block Party

Anything I say likely said before I find my poetry quite a bore Poetry is seasoned by my lavender life Like grams yams with cinnamon spice I suppose I’ve looked back and laughed At poems of liquid love that didn’t last Of song rooted in strong feelings of life Remembering those moved on who died I look at my fellow poets in amethyst awe With poems that flow while I cherry claw To replace my staying relevant red fears Posting while ghosting purple piano years I had a goal or two I amber abandoned Which fires my heart like civil war cannon I somehow keep in touch with satin self love Despite my crimes of passion I’m not giving up Tonight is cold and I long for warmth Putting off pajamas preferring arms That wrap me like a cranberry Christmas gift Pulls me peachy peacefully with heart lift Reflecting upon my December birthday Celebrated a whole week in my own way Lunch with a friend a movie at noon Brunch on my heart does the starry moon For night comes and I am alone Not so bad yet I’m lacking a poem For my attention is on what you write And I am happy to red read your insights I love love and like looking ahead As I lay awake alone in pink bed 2024 is coming to an emerald end Shall I write of memories or wait for new ones to begin

Come on, Karen. You have developed a unique style, interweaving vibrant color and shining gems into your lines seamlessly. Please give yourself credit for doing what the vast majority, including me, simply cannot even imagine doing. Three cheers! :) Gershon

Nice quatrains here, Karen. I think we can all relate as poets. I'm convinced that poets are always creating poems subconsciously, and the trick is to bring it UP INTO THE CONSCIOUS mind.

Interesting and I think true! It’s frustrating when we get stuck. I appreciate you sharing!

If it's happening anywhere in Maryland, I'll surely attend. I've been stuck in writer's block purgatory for months, teehee. Wishing you a Happy New year, Karen! Peace and love.

Your party is so full of description and flashbacks that it lends itself to being several poems in one. I always enjoy your poems.
