Pen, paper,
I lose control,
Something bigger,
It takes hold,
Dare I,
Sit and wait,
Am I,
To simply negotiate,
These words,
Words I own,
Won’t form,
Nothing to say,
Try again,
Pen in hand,
Page blank,
You mock me,
Provoking me,
What’s at stake,
My sanity,
For goodness sakes!
I was asked,”Do I ever have moments where you’re inspired to write a poem from nowhere?”
In response I said,”I think inspiration is something that can come from nothing, or nothing that can stem from something;something as simple as staring into the sun.”
I said yes and no, personally my best work(in my opinion/eyes) is drawn from inspiration, and sometimes I’m inspired “out of nowhere”.
