Therefore I Am

Eyes have thrilled

Soothed my mind,

Days now precious

Overflowing with

Pages once blank,

In short...presently

Filled to brim, those

Plots of fiction

Let me in,

 

I occupy each

Unmarked sheet,

Coaxing beautiful

Curious words,

Each crisp new leaf

Holds key to inspiration,

 

Feelings of excitement

Verses pour, immersed

Through cells of mind,

Like salmon swimming

Up river ever determined

To reach higher ground,

There to spawn new life.

 

Dreams and visions

Of tempestuous youth,

Eager adventures seep

Running through veins,

Sometimes unsettled

With no direction, kept

Hidden for another time,

Enhancing future poems

And stories to come.

Sounds wonderful, Jenny - I hope this is actually what's happening!  Those magic times remind us why we do it - as long as we can remember them when we're sitting in front of the page or screen feeling like a particularly uninspired suet pudding.

"Coaxing beautiful

This is the most inspiring poeem (well not just poem, ANYTHING) about writing I have read, ever. Would it be ok to print it out please?

You seem to be bubbling with ideas, and want to write them down, but also to give thought and develop the ideas and the thinking. Rhiannon

Hi airyfairy,

you did make me laugh with that bit about feeling like a suet pudding. I have been writing so much down and although it doesn't always come together, I just have a feeling that it will make more sense to me for future reference.

Anyway thank you so much for your input and I'm glad you found it interesting.

Jenny.

Hi Rhiannon,

I have been writing down ideas, some haven't come to fruitation yet, but the fun is actually in the writing and watching thoughts come to life. Thankfully and hopefully I'm out of that writers block way of feeling.

Thank you for reading and I appreciate hearing your thoughts.

Jenny.

Very good Jennifer! Heartening!  But how does the title fit in sounds more like philosophy?! Inspiration is the same with me it never rains but it pours. That's where your little writer's notebook comes in! But you know what Edison said? "genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration"  he had some very novel ideas our late Thomas Edison.

It's warm here already it feels like summer I think we're in for really hot times. While you must get the wood and coal ready clean the fireplace as days get shorter etc! Get the jackets and jersies ready all the warm stuff blankets and raincoats and that.

To tell you the truth I'm glad winter is over here we had some difficult times.

Keep well! Glad to see you writing you were a bit quiet lately,

Tom Brown

Hi Tom,

the title is just letting myself know that being able to write makes me who I am, if that makes any sense.

I always try to carry a note book, but sometimes inspiration comes just as I'm drifting off to sleep which is so maddening as I don't want to be disturbed.

I'm afraid I'm an Autumn and Winter lover Tom, but more Autumn. Like you've had enough of Winter, I've had enough heat of Summer. It'll be good to get out for walks without being under a burning sun. But I wish you a really great Summer with plenty of sunshine coming your way. smiley 

Thank you for the read and I enjoyed reading your comment.

Jenny.

Hi Jenny

 

I really like this. It says in so few words, what it means to enjoy writing.

Thanks Jean,

haven't had time to put pen to paper recently as I've been out walking and enjoying these cool conditions. It does get frustrating not writing, but needs must wink and walking for me is important now the heat has gone.

Glad you enjoyed and appreciate your thoughts.

Many thanks again.

Jenny. smiley
