Writing

My suitor calls but I let the phone ring 
For after all I am writing
It’s not his fault I have a hobby it seems

I do wonder if he will understand
To me poetry is like pottery in hand
And my inner demons demand I dance

We all have some Yin and Yang
No one of us is the very same
With surges of urges to teal tame

I am a romantic yet I ponder
Am I fit to be his girl wonder
For my muse is one of thunder 

I don’t know but yet I grow
To find enlightenment I hope
Perhaps this gap will close

Writing is for me a  turquoise thing
I can engage stage a dream
For my hand he must be understanding.

lol at your hubby not getting it. And it is a fair question once more quality time has been spent with the new guy. lol the ex loves me but is the perfect example of it takes more than love from each to make it work in my experience. Thanks for a giggle Kim!

I really relate to this one. My hubbie hates me always writing or doing Soup comments. He wants my attention like a baby dog or something. I hope you are able to find lots of moments for your writing.

Ahh!! I enjoyed reading this one. When writing starts late in life, it can cause problems in a relationship because of the change in the person. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

The world must understand that everyone plays second fiddle to our muse.

Would he complain were you a violinist? Of course not. Writers are 'chopped liver," I guess...
