Writing Iii

Nothing to write, right?
Try as I might
nothing comes to me ...
no sublime insight
no reat words to e
revealed in the light 
of another moment.

Boring stagnant online
haikooed to death ...
cuckoo is more like it.
Competing synapses
perpetrating symantic
blah, blah, blah.

So I'm not writing right,
right now.
Well ...  its not wrong either.
Weather (its snowing) neither or either
or whatever,
its not an event
worth pursuing today.

Nigel Fawcett Date: 12/18/2008 3:39:00 AM Now that's what I call clever! To write a poem about not writing, without it becoming a self-dispelling prophecy, is a pretty neat trick. Great stuff. Love, Nigel Login to Reply

Carrie Richards Date: 12/16/2008 5:38:00 PM Yep...we all can relate to this one! Stagnant is right...sometimes I start in and it turns into crap! Erase the whole thing, and walk away! We all have those days...you said it better than I could! ~ Carrie Login to Reply

Date: 12/16/2008 4:17:00 PM Sue, thanks for allowing me to chuckle with this one. All writers have these moments. You are too talented for your muse to leave you for long. I enjoyed this poem. Creative with a unique use of words. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season. Karen Login to Reply

Sharon Winter Date: 12/16/2008 3:55:00 PM SUSIE-Q! Love how you just write it as you feel it. In that case, everything you write is right! It is snowing here today too, and has been quite pretty actually. Not enough to play in, but big chunky flakes that look so cool coating everything white. Thanks for your thoughtful wishes. May you too enjoy a beautiful holiday season and absolute joy throughout the new year. Love & hugs, Shar xoxo Login to Reply
