The writer in me sits still
And teases as I fish and fidget
As I feel the discomfort
The scratching yawning chasm
Where my words once filled my heart
And flowed onto pages
Making real
My life internal
Even this, empty,
turned on resolutely
By my word holding muse
I turn to pages
Of other's nets
To soak in how the winds
Have been caught
And wrought
By others.

I love this poem about the creative process.
Unique take on the prompt, enjoyed reading this!
Thankyou Guatami, Sol and Dances with wolves!
And yes Beth, doesn't it just...in a world where it seems to be such a huge proportion of how we live!
That muse can be a b*t*h sometimes can't she?
A wonderful look at writerly lives!
Yep! sure can Mojo!
Thank you Tumblewords
